Chapter 406: Those who come are not good, and those who are good will not come

The Imperial Ancestral Temple of Dayao was built in a relatively spacious place. Although it was located in the sacred city, it was surrounded by mountains and rivers.

Behind the temple is a high mountain, which serves as the backing for the Imperial Ancestral Temple; in front is a surrounding small river, which provides water for the Imperial Ancestral Temple.

The temple is located on a hillside that has been flattened for most of its length.

Going up the slope is a wide and long staircase, one step higher than the next, a total of one hundred and nine steps.

Climb the stairs to reach the temple.

This is not an ordinary ancestral hall. As a royal ancestral temple, it is built magnificently and resembles a palace.

The main hall covers an area of ​​more than 300 acres, with a large and spacious center and surrounding side halls.

The entire place occupies thousands of acres of land, forming a palace on the hillside, majestic and majestic.

The space inside is enough to accommodate tens of thousands of people.

Together with the extremely wide road at the foot of the hillside and the surrounding river, this place is like a small island alienated from the bustling city of God.

When Chu Tang and Feng Huang entered the "island", they smelled the strong and disgusting smell of blood, saw the Ancestral Temple ablaze, and heard the panicked roars inside the temple.

"Hurry up and help!" Feng Huang looked anxious and was about to rush forward, but was caught by Chu Tang. She turned back and glared at Chu Tang and scolded him, "Chu Tang, what do you do, it will be a big mistake if you are late! "

Chu Tang held Feng Huang's arm tightly, with a solemn expression on his face. He pointed to the dark surroundings and said, "Third Miss, look, this mountain leads directly to the Ancestral Temple. It can be called the gateway to the Ancestral Temple. Is it usually unguarded?"

Fenghuang came back to his senses, frowned and said, "The imperial court has sent troops to garrison both inside and outside the Ancestral Temple..."

She also reacted!

What I saw now was that there was no trace of the army, and there were no casualties on the ground.

There were only some people around who came after hearing the news, but like Chu Tang and others, they were wandering at the foot of the mountain and stopped moving forward.

Chu Tang expressed his guess: "There has been chaos inside the Ancestral Temple, but the soldiers and horses outside have disappeared. There are only two possibilities. One is that they were transferred away..."

"That's impossible!" Feng Huang directly denied, "The Ancestral Temple is the place where the ancestors of the royal family live. It is so important. Even the emperor will not easily transfer the troops stationed there. Even if it is a change of defense, it must be coordinated by the royal family!"

"Then there is only the second possibility." Chu Tang followed and said, "The chaos started from within, and all the soldiers and horses from outside went to the Ancestral Temple to support."

Fenghuang's expression changed and he said, "You mean, there is a ghost inside the Ancestral Temple?"

Chu Tang smiled bitterly and said: "It's hard to say whether there is a ghost inside, but the people who come must be prepared. They can't not be prepared for the people who come to rescue later. Now it can be said that the enemy is in the dark and we are in the dark. Just you and me, risk If you break in, I'm afraid there won't be any good results."

Let alone a good outcome, you won’t even get a good ending!

Knowing that there are large armies stationed inside and outside the Ancestral Temple, but still daring to stroke the tiger's beard, the other party either has a large number of people, or is so powerful in martial arts that he doesn't take everyone seriously.

Of course, they could also be both powerful in numbers and skilled in martial arts.

No matter which way it is, if two people from the sixth and seventh realms break in, it's no different than a sheep entering a wolf's den.

Chu Tang, who always puts his life first, will naturally not let himself be put in danger.

However, Fenghuang was extremely anxious and said: "We also have people inside, waiting for support. One more person means more strength!"

As she said that, she wanted to struggle away from Chu Tang's hands, but Chu Tang grabbed her arm tightly, pointed at the shadowy scene around her and said, "Look, there are really not many people who came after hearing the news, and they didn't He rushed in rashly, as if he was waiting for someone!"

Fenghuang looked around and snorted: "These people should have heard the news nearby... Ouch! Not good!"

"What's wrong?" Fenghuang suddenly shouted, so scared that Chu Tang almost jumped up and asked quickly.

Feng Huang's eyes showed a look of horror and said: "Today is the birthday of the Emperor, and all the civil and military nobles from all over the world have entered the palace to attend the banquet. According to the practice of previous years, everyone has to toast to the Emperor and accept the Emperor's return. However, there are still There are princes and princesses who will entertain everyone on behalf of the emperor. In short, they drink wine non-stop until midnight, and almost most of the people are drunk. Now... now is the time when they are drunk!"

After saying that, Fenghuang looked at Chu Tang solemnly.

Chu Tang immediately understood what she meant. It was simply that the people who attacked the Ancestral Temple tonight were doing something at this time, and they chose this time specifically.

They wanted to take advantage of the emperor's night banquet with the ministers, so that the entire city's attention was focused on the palace and the princess's residence in the new city. Most of the defense forces of the court and royal family also shifted their focus, leaving other places unprepared.

Sure enough, those who come are not good, and those who are good will not come!

Taking a deep breath, Chu Tang said: "In this case, we can't be careless. Third Miss, Chu suggested that we wait until Princess Xincheng arrives with the Phoenix Army, and then we go in together."

This is a prudent and forthright approach, which is also a safe approach.

Fenghuang hesitated, with an incomprehensible expression on his face: "Isn't this bad?"

Chu Tang's eyes flashed and he said: "The Zhenyi Guards are monitoring the world. I'm afraid they have got the news at this time and should be arriving soon. The Zhenyi Guards are full of talents and have countless masters. With their intervention, they will definitely be able to kill all the rebellious officials and traitors. "

Feng Huang glanced at Chu Tang with complicated eyes, shook his head and said: "My second uncle is also in the palace at this time. Based on my understanding of him, after learning about this, he will definitely let most of the Zhenyi Guards enter the palace. escort, not come to rescue the Ancestral Temple."

"Escort?" Chu Tang was confused for a while.

Fenghuang smiled bitterly and said: "Who can guarantee that those hiding in the dark are not playing a trick to lure the tiger away from the mountain?"

Chu Tang understood and said: "You are clearly attacking the Ancestral Temple, but are you actually plotting against the emperor?"

Fenghuang's face was solemn and he said: "Before things become clear, everything is possible. The Ancestral Temple is a dead thing, but the living people in the palace are the most important. My second uncle cannot be unclear about this, and the others must be too. Thinking of it this way... In other words, the situation where a large number of experts come to support the Ancestral Temple as you expected will not happen in the short term!"

Chu Tang smiled bitterly, but he didn't expect this.

But it’s understandable if you think about it. After all, living people are much more important than dead things.

"But!" Feng Huang's expression became increasingly grim, "The Imperial Ancestral Temple is related to the face of the royal family and the court. If something goes wrong, someone will definitely be in trouble."

Chu Tang's smile became even more bitter: "If we hadn't come, we could still pretend that nothing happened. We've already arrived, but it's a shame to sit and watch the Ancestral Temple. If someone sues us, will we lose our skin even if we don't die?"

Fenghuang said seriously: "That's all. The key is that the Phoenix Fire Gun in the Ancestral Temple must not be missed, otherwise it will be another situation where all lives will be lost!"

Chu Tang opened his mouth, unable to refute, so he had to ask: "When will the Phoenix Army arrive?"

"The fastest it takes for the Thirteenth Princess to get to the Phoenix Army's station is a stick of incense. And the Phoenix Army is stationed in the North City. When the army sets off, it won't take half an hour to get here." Feng Huang said helplessly.

"In other words, the most likely situation that will occur within about half an hour is that most of the people who come to support are stragglers, and there are not many experts?" Chu Tang almost nodded and went back.

Fenghuang gritted her teeth and said, "Let's go and explore the situation first!" After saying that, she forced herself to break away Chu Tang's big hand that was holding her arm tightly.

Chu Tang slowly let go of his hand and turned his eyes to the contiguous palaces and temples on the hillside.

That place was filled with flames and shouts.

Fenghuang rushed upwards without hesitation, his figure was like an arrow and his speed was extremely fast.

With a sigh, Chu Tang also rushed forward. (End of chapter)
