"At all costs, put down the Cangzhou rebellion, life or death!"
Above the court hall, there was silence, all civil and military officials bowed their heads in silence, only the angry voice of the Wu Emperor echoed.
It wasn't until the court meeting dispersed and the officials walked out of the hall and out of the palace gate that the oppressive atmosphere showed signs of dissipating.
An official caught up with a general in front and asked in a low voice, "General Cheng, what's going on? Didn't Prince Jing die early? What happened to the Cangzhou Rebellion?"
"If you have any doubts about the matter, you can ask His Majesty for advice in person. There are still important things to do, so let's go first." The military commander casually cupped his hands and strode away.
The man looked at his back and shook his head helplessly.
Princess Duanrong and Prince Jing have always been a thorn in His Majesty's heart. Except for a confidant like General Cheng, who would dare to mention it before His Majesty
No matter how many people rebel in Wu Kingdom, they are all rebels after all, but Princess Duanrong is different from Prince Jing, they are from the same background as His Majesty, and they are both orthodox in Wu Kingdom, and they stand on the side of heaven.
Your Majesty is afraid.
After two years, Princess Duanrong made a comeback, and Cangzhou was suddenly seized, and there was a document written by Prime Minister Wang himself, which made almost all of his evil deeds public. , the people of the whole Wu Kingdom will know that their emperor killed his brother and father, massacred the whole family, devoid of conscience, the laws of nature cannot be tolerated, and both humans and gods will be punished...
His Majesty is no longer pretending to be brotherly and brotherly, secretive, and in front of the civil and military officials of the court, he has issued orders at all costs, regardless of life or death...
He wants to use power and force to stop everyone's mouths...
Among the hundreds of officials in the scattered court, some looked calm, some looked confused, and some were worried.
Somewhere in the back hall of the palace, Emperor Wu stood in the hall, looked at an eunuch below, and said: "Add Yang Fu's reward to her, and add another one hundred thousand taels of reward to tell those so-called martial arts righteous men , if anyone can take the head of Princess Duanrong, I will reward you with 300,000 taels of silver!"
The eunuch bowed and said, "Observe the order!"
"Old ancestor!"
"Old ancestor, old ancestor, you can't go in!"
boom!
Suddenly there was a messy sound outside the hall, and then, the door of the hall shattered with a loud bang.
"Yang Ze, I shouldn't have let you live in this world from the very beginning!" The old man with white hair and beard came in from the outside, looked at Emperor Wu with a cold and stern voice.
"Uncle Huang." Emperor Wu looked at him and said with a smile: "The men of the Yang family are already dead and only you and I are left. What does it matter if another insignificant woman dies?"
"In that case, this old man will send you to see your father and brother!"
There was a voice like tearing silk from the hall, the white-haired old man disappeared from where he was, and when he reappeared, he was already in front of Emperor Wu, he bent his fingers into claws, and pinched Emperor Wu's throat hard!
His speed was so fast that all the eunuchs beside Emperor Wu were thrown away, and Emperor Wu felt that he was locked by an air machine, and there was a burning pain in his throat.
Death was never so close to him, and there was a trace of panic and anxiety in his eyes.
boom!
After a muffled sound, Empress Wu took a few steps back and fell to the ground, panting heavily.
Where he was standing just now, a figure appeared.
It was an old woman with white hair and few wrinkles on her face. She stretched out a hand and held the white-haired old man's wrist.
Seeing the old man being stopped, Emperor Wu gasped and laughed, and the laughter became louder and louder, "Emperor, Uncle Emperor..., aren't you a master, aren't you invincible in the world, kill me, I'm right here, come here ah… "
The old man's wrist was held, and his expression finally moved.
Grandmaster, this old woman is also a grandmaster!
He looked at her, frowned and asked, "Who are you, and why do you want to participate in my royal family's affairs?"
The old woman had a calm expression, let go of her hand, and said lightly: "He still owes me one thing, you can't kill him."
The old man's face calmed down. He didn't know where Yang Ze found this master, and he didn't want to know. He looked at her and said, "If that's the case, let's see if you have the ability!"
As soon as he finished speaking, his body swayed, and he went straight to the Emperor Wu who was behind the old woman.
boom!
There was another muffled sound in the hall, and the figure of the old woman appeared in front of Emperor Wu faster than him, stopping him again.
The smile on Emperor Wu's face was even wider, and he sarcastically said: "Uncle Huang, if you don't rush, I'm afraid you will have to collect the body of your most beloved Princess Duan Rong..."
The white-haired old man stood where he was, but he stopped attacking. Instead, he looked at the old woman with suspicious eyes and asked, "You are like a shadow... Who are you Xu Tian?"
"Do you know Xu Tian?" The old woman's expression changed for the first time, and her voice suddenly increased, even sounding a little sharp.
"This shadow-following movement technique was created by the old guy when he was young. It is also something he is most proud of and often brags about. He regards it as a treasure. He didn't even teach me this movement technique back then..." Bai The old man looked at him, and said in a slow tone, "He actually passed this movement technique on to you. Could it be that you are—his later apprentice?"
The old woman didn't answer him. After the initial excitement, her emotions had calmed down at this time, and she asked, "Are you familiar with Xu Tian?"
The white-haired old man said: "When we were young, we were inseparable..."
The old woman's eyes were blank, and she murmured: "Is it possible to meet each other?"
"Back then, the two of us were only a mile away from the Grandmaster. We decided to bet on who would break through that barrier first..." When the white-haired old man recalled the past, he was completely unaware of the resentment and jealousy in the old woman's voice...
He was still talking endlessly: "Back then, I was a level above his realm, and he was not angry. In order to win me, he cut off distracting thoughts, abandoned everything, and retreated for several years..."
The old woman closed her eyes and murmured: "In order to win you, cut off distracting thoughts, abandon everything, and retreat for several years..."
She deliberately put the words "cut off" and "abandoned" very seriously.
The old man nodded, and asked suspiciously: "Since you are his apprentice, has he never mentioned me to you?"
As soon as he finished speaking, his expression suddenly changed. He raised one arm, made a fist with the other hand, and slammed forward!
boom!
His body flew upside down, a trace of blood overflowed from the corner of his mouth, his eyes widened with anger, he looked at the old woman who was also spurting blood, and said angrily: "Are you crazy!"
The old woman didn't speak, and what responded to him was a fiercer attack than before.
"Crazy woman, crazy woman!"
"Stop it, this will only hurt both sides!"
"Stop it, I know Xu Tian, I know Xu Tian..."
…
Since arriving in Wu Kingdom, Mr. Xu has often been in a daze alone, as if he was caught in some kind of memory. If he didn't say anything, Li Yi was too embarrassed to ask.
He has been sitting there alone eating chicken legs for a long time, the meat on them has been eaten clean by him, and even the bones are covered with tooth marks.
A black dog has been squatting not far from him since he was holding the chicken leg. The dog's eyes are wide open, looking at him without blinking. The dog's eyes have changed from full of hope to now almost desperate...
When Lao Fang walked in from the outside, Li Yi finally couldn't help it anymore, and said, "Go to the kitchen and say, add another chicken leg to Mr. Xu later..."
"The chicken legs will be added later." Lao Fang shook his head, handed a piece of letterhead to Li Yi, and said, "Master, you should take a look at this first..."
Li Yi opened the letter, and after reading it, shook his head slightly.
Three hundred thousand taels of silver, to buy the life of his precious nephew, this is the most stingy emperor he has ever seen.
Ms. Liu Er's apprentice, he is King Jing's nephew, is he only worth 300,000 taels of silver
He thought for a while, looked at Lao Fang, and said: "Notify Lu Luo, spread the hero post, offer a reward for the head of the emperor of Wu Kingdom, a reward of one million silver, and ten magical weapons that blow hair and cut hair, and cut iron like mud. Customization is accepted, free shipping; in addition, 10,000 points in the hero list will be rewarded; you can also use the knight himself as a prototype to customize a playbook with the theme of martial arts heroes, and Gou Lan will sing it on your behalf... "
