I Have a City in a Different World

Chapter 66 Coming to the Palace

Wangjing, the imperial city of Da Qi, has a long history and has experienced seventy-three generations of monarchs from the Five Dynasties.

This situation is naturally related to the geographical environment. The weather is smooth, the mountains and rivers are beautiful, and it is a famous land of fish and rice on the mainland.

Thousands of miles of fertile wilderness has nurtured countless people and many aristocratic families.

Wangjing Imperial City is even more spectacular, with neat and wide streets and a constant flow of cars and horses.

There are more than three million people living inside and outside the imperial city, and merchants from all over the country come in droves.

However, in recent times, the atmosphere in the imperial city has become tense.

War was raging on the border and countless people were displaced. The news had already reached the capital.

No monarch can tolerate the invasion and attack of their territory and will inevitably launch a defensive counterattack immediately.

At the beginning, the Emperor of Da Qi did issue an order to annihilate all invading enemies.

But not long after, bad news came frequently. The border defenders were constantly defeated, and the invading enemies were aggressive.

The Daqi border army requested support and hoped to allocate enough military expenditures, otherwise the morale of the army would inevitably collapse.

It is said that when a war begins, a huge amount of money will be consumed, and it is natural that the border troops are in urgent need of military expenditures.

Unexpectedly, the Emperor of Da Qi did not approve it for a long time, apparently because he did not want to pay the money.

When this incident came out, it immediately caused an uproar.

It is a well-known fact that the Emperor of Da Qi was stingy and greedy for money, and used clever pretexts to plunder private wealth.

Auctioning mountains, rivers, minerals, and selling various official positions to make money were all good deeds done by this emperor.

It is rumored that in private, there are still some prohibited industries, and the real controller behind them is this monarch.

The world said that the Emperor of Da Qi was actually the reincarnation of a strange beast and became a spirit. He was greedy for money and could only eat and drink.

Wanting him to dig into his pocket to increase military expenditures to defend against foreign enemies is no different from cutting off flesh and taking lives.

It is natural that there has been no funding for the project.

There was even news that the Emperor of Da Qi planned to summon all the major families to prepare to raise funds to fight against the invasion of foreign enemies.

It means that once the country is damaged and the enemy marches in, the major families will be the first to suffer losses.

In order to protect their property, major families should contribute money.

It also said that if the war is won and the enemy's land is occupied, the payer will enjoy the war dividends.

When the news spread, there was another uproar, and there was a lot of discussion in private.

In the face of a formidable enemy, the king of a country should surpass him like this, which is simply ridiculous to the extreme.

Perhaps fearing that something might happen or someone endangering his own safety, Emperor Da Qi sent out his own imperial guards.

It was the only army he was willing to pay and spared no effort to arm and build, just to protect himself at critical moments.

The appearance of these imperial guards temporarily silenced the original discussion, but the private discussion and fear never stopped.

People are worried that if the enemy really breaks through the border and fights all the way to the imperial city, what will happen then?

Some families have privately begun to prepare in advance to avoid being caught off guard when a crisis strikes.

When the people were worried, unexpected changes suddenly occurred.

On this day, a huge thing suddenly floated over the Imperial City of Daqi.

It looks like a metal boat, but it can fly out of the water and fly in the air, its whole body shining with silvery white light.

Millions of people in the imperial city saw this strange aircraft and couldn't help but exclaimed in surprise.

The Imperial Guard immediately rang the alarm bell, and many archers fired arrows to attack.

But except for first-class warriors who can shoot arrows to a high enough height, other archers are powerless.

Even though it could be touched, it was still unable to cause damage. The arrow fell after being blocked by a layer of white light.

Seeing this strange ship heading straight towards the palace, the Imperial Guards were even more panicked.

The alarm was sounded again, nine times in a row. This was the most urgent war signal.

On the city wall outside the palace, a bed-mounted crossbow was cocked and aimed at the huge airship in the sky.

The senior warriors raised by the royal family were all wearing armor and making final preparations before the battle.

Everyone in the palace immediately hid in the nearby house, and anyone who walked around randomly was shot to death.

The Praetorian Guards entered the inner palace, occupied key positions, and guarded all the doors airtight.

There has never been a situation like this in the past, which is enough to prove how critical the situation is.

The moment the airship approached, the bed crossbows fired their carefully crafted sharp spears into the sky.

Its height and range were barely enough to touch the airship, but it was still easily blocked.

"Don't hesitate, keep firing!"

The officer in charge, with panic and despair flashing in his eyes, shouted at the top of his lungs.

Unexpectedly, in the next moment, fire erupted from the airship, and the bed crossbow on the city wall instantly turned into pieces.

The operator next to him was also torn apart by bullets, with broken limbs flying everywhere.

But in the blink of an eye, this line of defense was completely destroyed, leaving the officers in the distance stunned.

"What kind of monster is this?"

A Forbidden Army general roared loudly, but unfortunately no one could answer. They were all shocked by the scene in front of them, feeling despair and panic.

I have never seen such a fierce and terrifying enemy, and I am already afraid of it before even fighting.

The tens of thousands of Imperial Guards were like a bunch of silly dogs, looking up at the big birds flying by in the sky. There was nothing they could do except jumping and roaring like crazy.

When the airship crossed the palace wall and headed towards the depths of the palace, the forbidden troops on the ground also roared and chased.

However, such an approach can only intensify the tense atmosphere, but cannot alleviate the crisis in the slightest.

"Quickly, go notify the Tianshi Mansion that the palace has been attacked by foreign enemies!"

The commander of the Imperial Guard, as if he had found a life-saving straw, shouted loudly to his officers.

“I have sent people for help a long time ago, but there has been no response.

Besides, the imperial palace and the Tianshi Mansion are only separated by a wall. If there is an accident, we should be aware of it as soon as possible..."

When the officer said this, he immediately fell silent. Some words could not be said clearly.

Even if you have doubts in your heart, you must not say anything nonsense, otherwise you will be killed.

The Commander-in-Chief looked gloomy, turned to look behind, and finally gritted his teeth and said: "Take people to the harem and protect His Majesty from entering the secret passage. You will never be allowed to come out until the crisis is resolved."

When the officers heard this, they nodded and left.

Unexpectedly, at this moment, the airship in the sky suddenly accelerated and was hovering over the harem in an instant.

The sudden change shocked all the Imperial Guards, and while roaring to escort them, they rushed towards the harem with all their might.

However, at the next moment, mysterious figures were seen floating out from inside the huge airship.

When someone tried to attack, they would raise their hand, followed by a scream.

The Imperial Guards, who were well-equipped and well-trained and regarded as confidants by the Emperor of Qi, were slaughtered like chickens and ducks without even the slightest ability to resist.

"Immortal Master!"

When the commander of the Forbidden Army saw this, he was stunned and finally understood why the Tianshi Mansion had no reinforcements.

Because the enemy is also a monk and is powerful, the immortal master of Tianshi Mansion is no match at all.

Even the Tianshi Mansion is no match. They are just mortal guards. What can they do at this moment?

Apart from filling it with life and delaying some time, there seems to be no other use.

Perhaps we can only pray that a miracle will happen next.

The commander closed his eyes and then opened them again, his eyes full of determination.

The faint king in the eyes of outsiders is actually a wise master to the Forbidden Army, and he has given them generous treatment.

Raising troops for a thousand days and using them for a while, now is the best time to repay the emperor's kindness.

Just when he was about to issue an order and rush into the harem to protect the emperor to the death, a voice suddenly spread throughout the imperial city.

“The Emperor of Da Qi is ignorant and ignorant, causing harm to the common people.

Today, I am punishing you on behalf of Heaven, counting my crimes, and delivering justice to all peoples.

Anyone who encounters injustice in the country can file a complaint and report it, and the owner of the city will definitely uphold justice. "

Along with the thunderous sound, another shocking scene appeared. A cage was hung below the airship, and the emperor of Qi was imprisoned in it.
