C47 (1/2)
A gigantic firework bloomed in the night sky as countless streaks of light streaked across the horizon. In the blink of an eye, countless firework shot up into the sky, blooming in mid-air at the same time.
It was unknown when the snow had stopped falling, but the pure white of the snow that covered the ground reflected the dazzling colors of the snow. The beauty of the snow was somewhat soul-stirring.
”Miss Wen, is our commotion big enough?”
Even the blue guard didn't know how she promised Wen Jiu to do such a thing.
This girl didn't have much silver on her, but she had the guts to wrap up all of the big items in the Smoky Flower Shop and move them all to the roof of the palace.
He did not know what those people in the palace were thinking, but he knew that this house was definitely not cheap.
”Hurry up.”
Wen Jiu stood on top of the roof, holding an incense in her hand. She had just lit the firework when she jumped onto the roof on the other side.
”Understood!”
blue guard was much faster than her. After flying around once, she had already lit up dozens of fireworks.
The incredibly tranquil night was awoken by a loud noise, and the citizens of Dijing, upon hearing the noise, gradually gathered in front of the palace gate.
The plain-clothed youth who had brought around a hundred or so people to the entrance of the palace first turned his head to look at her. As the light and shadow intersected, Wen Jiu was just finishing lighting the last fireworks, casually throwing away the incense in his hands and standing in the cold wind with her hair in disarray, yet her eyes were unusually clear and bright.
Wen Jiu made a ”please” gesture at him.
She wasn't the kind of person who needed to be protected in a greenhouse, but the two Xie Family Brothers didn't seem to realize this point.
Xie Xuan turned around, and brought everyone to kneel in front of the palace gate, ”This humble one is Xie Xuan, and present the Changping County of tens of thousands of citizens to wash away the grievances of my eldest brother!”
This matter had long become the number one matter in Di Jing city. The commoners who were still in the midst of waking up immediately became seventy to eighty percent awake.
The young man knelt in the snow, his posture smooth and graceful. It was the time of the imperial court, and quite a few officials, upon seeing his posture, immediately made the sedan bearers take a detour to the other side of the palace gate to enter the imperial court.
Coincidentally, one or two hard-hearted officials had walked through this door, and as they passed by, they couldn't help but step forward and ask.
Wen Jiu stood far away, he could not hear what they were saying, but seeing that the ministers were about to enter, the number of people kneeling in front of the palace gate became more and more, and soon, there were thousands.
”Miss Wen, it's cold here.”
The blue guard that stayed behind to look after her tried to retrieve a mission that she should have completed, ”Third Young Master is already here, why don't you go back and rest first.”
He did not dare to let Eldest Young Master know that Miss Wen had spent the entire night on this roof for his sake.
”Go down and make a count.”
Wen Jiu immediately sat down on the roof, ”I will stay here, there won't be any problems, and Xie Heng won't know that I'm here either.”
blue guard hesitated.
”Go.”
Wen Jiu had only said two words, but it was evident that it was not easy to refuse.
The sky had just turned white and was suffused with smoke. Wen Jiu sat on the high ground, watching the people who were slowly gathering around her block Xie Xuan, she couldn't even see her back anymore.
The thousands of people in front of the palace said in unison: ”The nation is not the country, where is the people?”
Everyone's voice overlapped with one another, filled with anger, as it echoed through the layers of palace doors, straight to the Conference Hall.
Zhao Yi sat on the Dragon Throne, his face as dark as water.
The officials below all whispered to each other, and said together: ”This Xie Heng is a big trouble, the moment he came to Dijing, not only did he cause chaos throughout the city, now this is... This is going to be a riot! ”
Someone said, ”This official requests that we disperse these troublesome people!”
Zhao Zhi took a step forward, ”This son believes that we should kill Xie Heng and suppress everyone's anger!”
Seeing that, Zhao Feng was not willing to fall behind, and wanted to step up to speak.
The official who had spoken with Xie Xuan outside the palace a moment ago spoke first: ”This is a book that the Changping County sent all the way here. This young man is truly a general, Xie Heng cannot be killed!”
Before Zhao Yi could say anything, the officials were already in an uproar.
