Chapter 364: The Empty And Lonely Imperial Palace (1/2)

The sounds of battle continued on until the next afternoon before it slowly faded out A large number of troops entered the forest next to the official road and began their search Before long, piles of bodies could be seen

Lou Zigui tried to rush back to the capital but was slowed down by the war He only ed to arrive at the capital with a small cavalry of soldiers at dusk The capital was surrounded by white banners

Elder Li and the others at the city walls were all in ui immediately panicked Whose death would cause the whole capital to ui was afraid of the answer

On his horse, Lou Zigui was greeted coldly by Elder Li, “It ui re Jin called out to hiui's body tre saw the i the for?”

The sound of hooves travelled over and Pei Yan halted his horse beside Lou Zigui, “His Majesty has passed”

Lou Zigui snapped his head to look at Elder Li Elder Li nodded once The piercing cold breeze blew past the city walls and caused all the white banners tosound This was exactly the replica of the scene inside the funeral hall of the Lou estate years ago Lou Zigui felt as if he had fallen into the Yellow Springs (aka hell) He had no idea where his body was

Fang Tang was rooted on the spot He wanted to speak up but his face felt like it was on fire and he really wished he could hide in a hole Pei Yan got off his horse Second Young Master Pei wasn't dressed inat Lou Zigui, he asked, “Supreet fro hi

“The Duke of Yue's Destruction Prisoner Aruys,” Pei Yan sneered, “I didn't realise Anyuan and Fengzhou were the sa tried to explain with difficulty, “We were delayed by some enemy troops while ere on our way” Pei Yan raised his eyebrow and the tip of his brows contained a hint of 's face burned even hotter “His Majesty” Lou Zigui stuttered, “How did His Majesty die?”

“He waited too long for the auxiliary troops to arrive,” Pei Yan replied, “To protect the common people, His Majesty risked his life and died on the battlefield Even the jade seal was taken away by the rebel forces”

Soh the crowd, causing a commotion “Enter the capital,” Pei Yan's voice remained icy, “Whatever has happened, has already happened and talking about it won't change anything”

Glancing at Lou Zigui as still dazed on his horse, Elder Li told Pei Yan, “That's enough You can go to the south gate to look for the Duke of Yue”

“The Duke of Yue personally brought the troops here?” Pei Yan exclai He would've never thought that the Duke of Yue would personally lead the troops here

Elder Li nodded, “We will follow behind You can go first” Pei Yan didn't look back at Lou Zigui and ate

“Supreui They can't stand here forever right?

“Supreme Commander,” Elder Li murmured, “This old ui let out a breath, “Modou escaped into the forest beside the official road My soldiers are still after hio We'll talk ui looked up to the streets in front of hiot on the sedan and an official outside the sedan quietly whispered to hi there”

“Go to the south wall,” Elder Li coret now?! His Majesty is already dead!!!

The officials outside the capital walls all left in a hurry but Lou Zigui and his troops continued to stand outside the barren city gate The scene was lonely and gloo the capital?” Fang Tang asked Supreui stood around blankly for a while Suddenly, he mounted his horse and rode towards the palace How could he believe that Miss Ning is dead without going to the i with his own eyes?!

“Hurry!” Fang Tang hastily mounted his horse and called out to the troops to keep up Now that the imperial palace had lost its on air On this day, the colour of the sunset was dull, as if it was depleted of life
