Chapter 52: Death of Zhan Xiong

Zhou Yue's sudden stop made the old eunuch secretly relieved.

After all, both parties are masters at the master level.

Although he was confident that he could defeat Zhou Yue, if there was a fight, he would probably suffer serious injuries.

The old eunuch cupped his hands and said, "Thank you very much to the Queen and Miss Zhou for not embarrassing this old slave. After the matter is completed, I will personally send Miss Zhou out of the palace."

After saying that, he exited the palace.

But he did not leave directly, but stayed not far away, obviously still on guard against Zhou Yue.

Seeing this, Zhou Yue snorted coldly: "Obviously something big is about to happen, but such a master doesn't use it. Instead, he stays here and keeps watching me. Senior brother, doesn't he think it's a waste?"

"Haha, it's obvious that he doesn't really believe that you will stay in the palace with peace of mind."

"Then he guessed wrong. As long as the master is fine, I don't care who he wants to deal with in this capital."

Zhou Yue turned around and sat down: "By the way, sister, what do you think senior brother will do to deal with King Su?"

"A two-pronged approach, on the one hand mobilizing manpower to surprise and destroy all of King Su's wings in the capital, and on the other hand mobilizing experts to directly assassinate King Su."

Yuwen Piaoxu replied.

"He is capable of assassinating King Su. After all, senior brother has another grandmaster-level enshrinement next to him."

"But senior brother has been in coma for three years after all. How can he find enough manpower to deal with King Su's wings in the court?"

Zhou Yue was confused.

Yuwen Piaoxu smiled: "Yes. In the past three years, the imperial court has been recuperating and cracking down on corruption. How many people's financial paths have been cut off, and how many people have been hated to the bone?"

"Those people are looking forward to it every day that His Majesty can take charge of the government again and let them return to the old days of making a fortune every day."

"If the prediction is correct, Your Majesty should have been in contact with those people in the past half month since he woke up."

"Why!"

Zhou Yue sighed after hearing this: "If senior brother really relies on those people to regain control of the government, I am afraid that the people of the world will suffer again."

…

In a secluded valley.

Zhao Mu sat cross-legged in front of the wooden house, closing his eyes and practicing quietly.

Waves of powerful sword intent were constantly stirring and vibrating around him, exuding astonishing power.

For more than three years, Zhao Mu has been filtering and transforming the demonic energy in the demon blood jade into spiritual aura through the Queen Mother's corpse, combined with the Sravaka Gu and Zhenqi.

This spiritual aura is very mysterious, and its quality far exceeds the martial arts true energy.

After more than three years of continuous absorption, Zhao Mu's current Qi cultivation has reached the edge of breaking through to the Martial Saint level.

Compared to his Qi cultivation, his physical body grew faster.

Now he feels that his physical strength should have surpassed the realm of Grandmaster and truly stepped into the realm of Martial Saint.

In today's Jin Dynasty, it is not an exaggeration for him to claim to be the best in the world.

Wow!

Suddenly there was a sound of flapping wings, and a falcon flew into the valley and landed in front of Zhao Mu.

This is the messenger falcon trained by Wei Hu.

Ever since Zhao Mu retreated in the valley, Wei Hu would use a hawk to deliver important news about what happened outside every once in a while.

Therefore, although Zhao Mu does not leave home, the news is not blocked.

"The news from Wei Hu last time shows that after Emperor Yuan woke up, he quietly gathered his men and launched a thunderous attack on King Su."

"In order to kill King Su, Emperor Ming Yuan even dispatched a grandmaster-level royal to worship him."

"In that battle, King Su was caught off guard, and 70% of the manpower in the capital was directly eliminated. Coupled with the loyalty of the warriors, Emperor Ming Yuan regained control of the court in less than a month."

“However, King Su’s palace is too deep, and no one thought that the eunuch Li Weiyong beside him was actually a master at the master level, but because he had never made a move in front of others, he was not included in the nine great masters in the world. "

"Under the protection of Li Weiyong at that time, even if the royal minister personally took action, he could not kill King Su. Instead, King Su escaped from the capital."

"It is said that after Emperor Ming Yuan got the news, he was so angry that he hacked to death the two palace maids he was serving to vent his anger. After that, he even issued an order to have Zhan Xiong personally lead his men to hunt down King Su. I wonder what's going on now?"

Zhao Mu whispered to himself while taking off the secret letter from the kite's leg.

There are two secret letters.

He opened one of the letters and looked at it, and his expression suddenly changed: "Zhan Xiong is dead. How is this possible? Could it be that he died in the hands of King Su's personal eunuch, Li Weiyong?"

Zhao Mu quickly continued to look down, only to realize that this was not the case.

Half a year ago, not long after Zhan Xiong was ordered to hunt down King Su, a huge flood suddenly broke out in the south of the Yangtze River, causing hundreds of thousands of victims to be displaced.

In fact, after the imperial court's three years of recuperation, the treasury has gradually become abundant.

After all, the foundation of the New Chu Emperor's period is still there. As long as the people of the world take a breath, the national power will quickly recover.

So the imperial court immediately mobilized money and food and sent people to Jiangnan to relieve the disaster.

But there is a saying that goes well, everything in this world is determined by fate.

After Emperor Ming Yuan ascended the throne in his early years, he recklessly carried out large-scale construction projects all over the country, increased taxes on the people, and cultivated a group of corrupt officials.

After he woke up half a year ago, he relied on the support of those corrupt officials to take charge of the government again.

But those corrupt officials are all cannibals.

Their purpose in supporting Emperor Ming and Yuan to regain control of the government was to return to the "good old days" where they could freely plunder the people's wealth and support.

And this flood is simply a gluttonous feast for them.

The imperial court allocated a huge amount of disaster relief funds, but due to layers of corruption by corrupt officials, not a single penny fell into the hands of the victims.

Now, the matter has been revealed.

Hundreds of thousands of hungry victims, with their chests touching their backs, are a huge powder keg.

As soon as the incident of embezzlement of disaster relief funds came out, this powder keg was directly ignited.

Coupled with the tandem organization of some people, the angry emotions of the victims were detonated, and they actually formed a large number of rebels and went directly to the capital to kill them.

Of course, if it were just a rebel army composed of pure disaster victims, it would not be too difficult to suppress it based on the capabilities of the current court.

But the trouble is, the rebel army is not only composed of disaster victims, but also many officers and soldiers sent by someone.

Those officers and soldiers were well-trained, and after dressing up in disguise, they quickly became high-ranking members of the rebel army.

While leading the rebel army to fight in the capital, they continued to train the rebel army on the road, making this army composed of disaster victims quickly become more impressive.

And just when the rebel army was in full swing, attacking the capital.

King Su, who was on the run, suddenly raised a banner beside King Qing.

The troops stationed in various places were followed by clouds, and they quickly gathered around King Su from all directions, forming a large-scale regular army.

This army was known as King Su's Army, and in the name of getting rid of the treacherous villains around the emperor, they also went all the way to the capital to kill them.
