"Go back to the palace!"
Now that Mi Cangqiong has died, there will naturally be other eunuchs to take his place.
Seeing Zhao Gou's miserable appearance, he urgently needed to return to the palace to recuperate, and he even had to dispatch border troops back to the capital. Only when the capital was guarded by three layers inside and outside could he feel safe.
But who knew that they were just about to take action.
Rumble!
A heavy cavalry unit of a thousand men surrounded the royal villa.
The heavy cavalry had flags fluttering on their backs, with a big "Song" character swaying in the wind. They were the heavy cavalry trained by the Zhengxing Gang, coming out in full force.
Even in the villa, Shen Huchan and hundreds of his disciples who were unharmed and had fully recovered their strength drew out their long swords that shone with cold light and resealed the entrances and exits.
Seeing the Zhengxing Gang doing this, everyone was shocked!
Zhao Gou was so frightened that he screamed continuously!
The remaining four great detectives and more than a hundred imperial guards suppressed their fear and surrounded the emperor.
At this moment, the guards around the emperor were extremely weak.
If Song Tianen wanted to take the opportunity to rebel, even without his powerful soldiers, he could sweep the entire place by himself!
"Alliance Leader Song, what do you want to do?"
Master Jingmeng of the Shaolin Temple hurried forward and asked humbly.
Song Tianen said in a resounding voice: "Don't be afraid! I, Song, am not rebelling against the emperor, but I am protecting you, because the Jin soldiers who sneaked in have not been completely eliminated!"
The sound was loud and could be heard clearly in the villa.
Wherever his sight passed, no one dared to look him in the eye.
No one dared to believe what Song Tianen said.
The people who were still alive at the scene were divided into factions, and they were afraid that the exposed Jin Bing spy would come out to cause trouble.
Of course, everyone present was afraid of his strength and dared not refute.
After a few moments of silence, Fang Xinwo, the leader of the Dafang Sect who had supported Zhuge Zhengwo, bowed with both hands and said, "May I ask, Young Master Song, do you know who the spies are?"
Song Tianen sneered in his heart: "You don't call me leader? I guess you still feel dissatisfied?!"
Then he pressed his finger heavily on Fang Xinyi's forehead and exploded his skull with one finger: "It's you! Not only you! But also you! You! You!"
Song Tianen pointed out the names one by one, all of them were the leaders of the ten major sects that had supported Zhuge Zhengwo.
"What! Alliance leader, you must not joke around? How could we be spies?"
"This demon king is clearly taking advantage of this situation to eliminate dissidents!"
The ten major sects are in unrest.
The other neutral sects retreated dozens of feet for fear of being implicated.
Seeing the naked and unreserved murderous intent in Song Tianen's eyes.
Qing Xuanzi, the leader of Qingdi Sect, roared with bloodshot eyes.
"Brothers, catch the leader first, and capture his woman Zhao Shirong!"
However, ants are ants! They dare not face the lion-like Song Tianen at all, and only want to hold Zhao Shirong hostage to make Song Tianen afraid to act rashly.
Song Tianen sneered, "Sure enough, he is a spy from the Kingdom of Jin! How could a martial artist from the Central Plains do such a despicable thing?"
Take a deep breath and let it out.
This is Gao Mingdao using his mouth to generate sword energy!
Moreover, it is a domineering sword with extremely strong lethality among the formless sword energy.
Thousands of silver-white sword energies with sharp edges just circled around casually.
Phew! Phew!
All the leaders, elders, male and female disciples of the ten major sects were beheaded in an instant.
In an instant, blood was splattered all over the sky!
Headless corpses piled up on top of each other.
In just one breath, the eight major sects that originally supported Zhuge Zhengwo, including Dafang Sect, Daobing Society, Kuacang Sect, Qingdi Sect, Huangshan Sect, Yandang Sect, Jiulian Alliance, and even Wenjiazhai, were completely wiped out! No, maybe there were disciples left in their sects, but they were no longer a big deal. From today on, they could only become third-rate gangs, or be swallowed up by other gangs.
Ah!
Zhao Gou, who witnessed all this, screamed and fainted.
With a loud crash, the remaining members of the sect fell to their knees one by one.
Master Jing Meng even knelt down and begged, "Master Alliance Leader, please have mercy. If you continue to kill, our Central Plains martial arts world will be severely damaged!"
Song Tianen quickly helped the Shaolin abbot up.
"Master Jing Meng, what are you doing? You are a senior in the martial arts world and I cannot bear your worship. Don't worry, I have already eliminated all the Jin soldiers and spies in our martial arts world."
Upon hearing what the Cold-Faced Demon Lord said.
All the martial arts heroes present breathed a sigh of relief.
"Everyone! Don't despise me for being too murderous! The Jin soldiers are pressing forward step by step. If our Song Dynasty does not want to be overthrown here, we must use thunder-like means to eliminate the tumor!" Song Tianen said with compassion.
Those who were smart quickly knelt down and said, "We naturally believe what the leader said. These people deserve to be killed! Good killing! Wonderful killing!"
With someone taking the lead, hundreds and thousands of martial artists knelt down and cheered.
At this moment, Song Tianen, with the might of killing Yin Shuke and unparalleled power, naturally had the power to define who was a spy of the Jin Kingdom. At this time, his power was stronger than any previous leader of the martial arts world! He could decide life and death with just one word.
Wang Xiaoshi opened his mouth but held back because he knew that before his leader went to the Northern Expedition, he had to clean up the internal affairs and could not have any loopholes!
Even though what Song Tianen did was unrighteous and could even be seen as evil; but for the sake of the world, these people had no choice but to die!
After clearing out the martial artists, Song Tianen turned his attention to the imperial court.
He pronounced his verdict to the crowd in a cold voice, "Zhuge Zhengwo and Mi Cangqiong colluded with the Grand Marshal of the Jin Kingdom, Yin Shuke, and tried to hold a martial arts conference in the name of the Central Plains martial arts world and the entire court! Although he committed suicide, his four disciples Wuqing, Tieshou, Zhuiming, and Lengxue are also suspected of being spies!"
"In consideration of your hard work and contributions over the years! You can choose to commit suicide like your master did, or die in my hands! Or you can join the Xianzhen Camp and fight to the death with the Jin soldiers!"
Tie Shou's face was filled with grief and indignation: "Demon Lord! Not only did you force our master to death, but you also threw dirty water on him! Brothers, it looks like we will fight to the death today."
Leng Xue grabbed Tie Shou and said, "Calm down! If we die today, Master and I will be known as Jin Bing spies!"
Wuqing stepped forward and said, "Alliance Leader Song, we are officials appointed by the court. Only the emperor can judge us. You, a mere martial artist, are interfering in government affairs. Aren't you afraid that the world will not accept it?"
Song Tianen raised his eyebrows: "If you hadn't said it, I would have almost forgotten this."
He just hooked his finger, and the entire body of Zhao Gou, the founding emperor of the Southern Song Dynasty, was grabbed by Song Tianen through the air!
"emperor!"
"Put down my emperor!"
"You want to kill the king?!" The four great detectives and the imperial guards were surrounded by thousands of cavalry before they could move, leaving them with grief and anger on their faces.
As for the many martial artists, they naturally did not dare to express any dissatisfaction with him.
I dare not support it, nor oppose it.
Song Tianen said in astonishment: "I am the most loyal person in the world, how could I do such a thing as regicide? Didn't you see that the emperor was frightened? If I don't take action, he will be frightened to death tonight!"
After saying that, he pointed a finger at Zhao Gou's Baihui acupoint, and the gentle true energy woke him up slowly.
Zhao Gou's eyes were clear at this time, and it was obvious that Song Tianen's true energy had taken effect.
He was even controlled by Song Tianen's true energy.
After all, after integrating the Heavenly Book of Forgetfulness, there is a magical power called "Teacher's Teaching" in the Treasure Mirror of the Sky, which can interfere with the consciousness of people whose skills are not as good as his, but for ordinary people who don't know martial arts, it is a complete brainwashing.
Sure enough, the first thing Zhao Gou did after waking up was to reward Song Tianen lavishly!
He shouted to the few Zhongshu Lings who were still alive at the scene, "Song Tianen killed the Grand Marshal of the Jin Army and King Yin Shuke of Shu, and uncovered Mi Cangqiong, Zhuge Zhengwo and the Ten Major Sects who colluded with the Jin to rebel! Save the country from danger! Confer Song Tianen the title of Grand Marshal of the Army of the Song Dynasty, Jiedushi of the Six Continents, Grand Commander of Lin'an, and Prince Nie Zheng! Control the army, money, and personnel of the whole country; Prince Taibao, can open a government office! You don't need to pay homage to me, and I specially grant you a Shangfang sword, which can represent the imperial power and behead princes and civil and military officials."
But this is not over yet.
"Today! The Jin Kingdom's spies are difficult to suppress, and the imperial guards will all be replaced by the Zhengxing Gang under Prince Nie Zheng! Princes from all over the world are invited to enter the palace!"
Everyone was dumbfounded!
Good fellow! After Zhao Gou issued a decree, he handed over everything except the imperial power.
The life and death of the royal family were entirely entrusted to him.
At this moment, Song Tianen possesses the power of prime minister + marshal + prince + governor + grand commander-in-chief, plus he is a collection of underworld forces. He is not an emperor, but he is better than an emperor.
Logically speaking, the emperor's edict would be invalid without the approval of the prime minister and the Secretariat, but at this moment, several prime ministers in the Secretariat had already been killed by the thunderbolt.
No one opposed this decree.
As a result, the remaining imperial guards and the infantry commanders who came from the capital all laid down their weapons and knelt down in front of Song Tianen, shouting "Long live Song Tianen!"
The martial artists who had just stood up knelt down again.
"Prince Nie Zheng! Long live the king! Long live the king! Long live the king!"
Seeing that the situation was hopeless, the four great detectives knelt helplessly on the ground and said, "The four of us are willing to join the Xianzhen Camp and fight to the death to atone for our sins."
Song Tianen looked at the people kneeling on the ground and nodded helplessly. The first step of the Northern Expedition to seize power was finally completed!
From then on, no one in the world could compete with him.
The next step will be to prepare for war!
-
Chengqian Gate is the only way out of Lin'an City.
Yi Yangzi and Xiao Ma of the Dian Cang Sect had already upgraded their weapons.
With the gold given by Song Tianen, he now had enough money to buy an expensive carriage.
Yiyangzi opened the car curtain.
Outside, the sound of horses' hooves was heard, and infantrymen from all directions were coming and going, carrying patients with less serious injuries from the royal villa. For a moment, all the hospitals in the capital were filled with wailing.
"Oh, did you see that? I had foresight that Xiao Ma was your master. Fortunately, we didn't go to the martial arts conference. With our mediocre kung fu, we can probably save the urn now."
Xiao Ma agreed while chewing a chicken leg: "Great! Master, you have a good eye. Look at that young man on the side of the road. His hair is all gray from worry."
"You can see him even with his hood on?"
"Master, you forgot that my Xiao Ma is famous for his good eyesight! But why does that guy look so much like the wanted criminal Bai Choufei! Wow! He is worth five thousand taels, Master, let's report him to the police."
"Shh! Keep your voice down. Martial arts masters like these have very sensitive ears."
Bai Chou, wearing a hood, walked quickly among the crowd. Now the whole city was filled with his arrest warrants, and there was no place for him in the Song Dynasty.
"Prince Nie Zheng!" Bai Choufei's eyes were full of envy. This was his greatest hope as a grassroots player, but it was obtained by the Cold-faced Demon Lord, no! Now it should be called the Cold-faced God Lord Song Tianen.
I heard that in the past few days, both the martial arts world and the imperial court have been reshuffled by him, and those who came to power are the young and warmongering factions.
People are even more excited!
After all, he was the first person in the Song Dynasty to kill Yin Shuke, whose status was second only to the emperor in the Jin Dynasty.
This man was one of the main culprits of the Jingkang Incident, and had countless blood debts owed to the people of the Song Dynasty on his hands.
His death was celebrated by the whole world! Every household was setting off firecrackers to celebrate these two days.
-
A month later.
The Jin Kingdom went to the capital Huining Prefecture.
Wanyan Min, the emperor of the Jin Dynasty, the demon lord, and the owner of the Fallen Demon Armor, sat on the dragon throne.
Ten years ago, he still had a normal human appearance. Perhaps due to his long-term exposure to the dead and his practice of the Heavenly Demon Art, his appearance has changed drastically.
His face turned extremely pale, his eyes were sunken, but they were flashing with a faint green light, as if they could see through the deepest fears in people's hearts. On his forehead, a faint purple magic pattern was looming, which was a sign that his cultivation was improving day by day and his Heavenly Demon Art was about to be perfected.
The entire body is more than ten feet tall, and the golden chair must have been specially made for it!
Inside the hall, the flickering candlelight illuminated the eerie atmosphere around him, which formed a sharp contrast with the silvery, snow-covered northern scenery outside.
"The death of the King of Shu has brought shame to the Jin Dynasty and cast a humiliation on our hegemony." Wanyan Min's voice was low and hoarse, with unquestionable majesty, "The Song Kingdom, that once defeated general, now dares to challenge the majesty of the Jin Kingdom!"
Below, the ministers were silent, no one dared to speak. They knew very well that the emperor was not only powerful, but also extremely cruel, and any dissatisfaction or slackness could lead to death.
"Prime Minister, what do you think?" Wanyan Min turned his gaze to the prime minister standing beside him, an old man with a haggard face but unusually sharp eyes.
The Prime Minister bowed and saluted, and said slowly: "Your Majesty, the reason why the Song Kingdom can be so arrogant is all because of Song Tianen. According to Bai Choufei who escaped from the Song Kingdom and defected to our Great Jin Dynasty, this man is highly skilled in martial arts. Now he is named Prince Nie Zheng by the young emperor of the Southern Song Dynasty. The entire Great Song Dynasty court seems to be completely controlled by him. Not only that, according to reports from spies in the Great Song Dynasty, the mobilization of troops along the Yangtze River in the entire Great Song Dynasty is unusual, and it seems that there is an important... "
"What does he want?" Wanyan Min's eyes narrowed.
The prime minister quickly reported what he hadn't finished saying: "Based on the above, this beast seems to have the intention of launching a northern expedition against our Great Jin!"
"Hahahahahaha!" Wanyan Min seemed to have heard some huge joke and laughed out loud.
The devilish sound shook! It was like the rumble of thunder. Even the entire hall was shaking. The ministers covered their ears and wailed, and some old and frail people even died suddenly.
a long time!
Wanyan Min lowered his head, his pair of brown-yellow devil eyes flashed with infinite cruelty!
"How dare you! Do you really think that you can be invincible just by killing Yin Shuke?"
"Wanyan Zongbing! Wanyan Loushi!"
Two strong veterans stepped out from the crowd and knelt on one knee!
"Chen is here!"
"Order! Each of you will lead 300,000 cavalry and 500,000 infantry! Separate your forces from the east and west to capture Lin'an and take the head of this beast for me."
"I have the order!" (End of this chapter)
