"Qiu Shuijing!"
Upon hearing this, Emperor Ping became furious and chased out of the Golden Palace, looking down at Qiu Shuijing who was walking towards the outer city.
"Do you think that you can do whatever you want just because I need you?"
Di Ping lifted up his dragon robe to wipe the blood off his face and laughed loudly: "I already have the "Sixteen Chapters of True Dragon". I can extend my lifespan and continue to wait! There is more than one Qiu Shuijing in this world. I can wait until the second Qiu Shuijing is born to complete the longevity method for me!"
Qiu Shui didn't even turn the camera and walked straight towards the Jinwu Guards and the Imperial Guards.
The generals of the Jinwu Guard and the Imperial Guards hesitated and looked at Emperor Ping one after another.
Di Ping opened his arms, and several palace maids hurried forward, took off his bloodstained dragon robe, and wiped the blood off his body with a warm silk scarf.
Another palace maid bowed and knelt on the ground. The emperor sat down, and a palace maid in front of him knelt and crawled forward, lying on the ground.
Di Ping put one leg on the maid's back, and another maid took off his blood-stained boots, placed the emperor's feet against her chest, and untied his socks bit by bit.
Another palace maid came forward on her knees, holding the new stockings in her hands.
They changed one boot and Diping put it on the other foot.
Behind him, there were palace maids taking off his crown, wiping the blood stains on the crown, and carefully combing his hair.
After changing into a pair of boots and styling his hair, Di Ping stood up, spread his arms, and the palace maids put on a new dragon robe for him.
At this time, Qiu Shuijing had already arrived in front of the troops.
Di Ping raised his hand and waved.
The Jinwu Guards and the Imperial Guards felt relieved and made way for Qiu Shuijing to pass.
"There is great terror between life and death, teacher, you will come back to beg me." Di Ping said with a smile.
The imperial guards opened the small palace gate in the inner city, released Qiu Shuijing, and then closed the small palace gate again.
Some eunuchs and spiritualists hurried to the Golden Palace, used their magical powers to wash away the blood, and wiped it carefully several times, but there was still a smell of blood in the court.
The eunuchs and spiritualists fetched fresh flowers, squeezed out their juice, and sprinkled it everywhere in the Golden Palace, trying to cover up the smell of blood with the fragrance.
Emperor Ping summoned Lao Hu and said, "Prime Minister Wen, you are in charge of internal affairs. Find out who the dead are and which noble families they are from. Then draft an edict in two copies and send them to these noble families. One copy says that someone has committed treason and has been executed by me personally, but I am merciful and will not implicate his family members. The other copy is to confer titles on the second in command of these noble families, with official positions equivalent to those who were executed for treason. I will not accept officials from these noble families."
The old fox said respectfully: "Your Majesty has shown both kindness and power, and these aristocratic families will certainly be grateful. However, there are too many high-ranking officials who died this time, and I am afraid it will take a long time to write these edicts..."
"Find a dozen scholars to copy!"
Di Ping sneered, "These scholars, can't they even copy homework?"
The old fox said yes, "Then Qiu Shuijing and the reformist officials in the outer city of the imperial city..."
"Let those rebels attack us until they are exhausted. If Qiu Shuijing still refuses to bow to me, I will use their heads to appease the public anger."
Di Ping smiled and said, "These reform officials are all young and strong, and their strength is quite good. They are fighting to the death with these noble families, which can be regarded as a waste utilization. They can help me reduce the power of the noble families."
The old fox frowned slightly and said cautiously: "Your Majesty, most of the officials under Qiu Shuijing are from Tiandao Academy. If they die outside, I'm afraid Tiandao Academy will not be able to continue..."
"Do you think I care about a mere Tiandaoyuan?" Di Ping's eyes suddenly turned cold.
The old fox shuddered and lowered his head not daring to speak. Although he was Wen Guanshan, a sage of the miscellaneous school and one of the four great myths of Yuan Shuo in his lifetime, he was not one of them in this life.
In the past, he was high and mighty, the most powerful official in the country. Even the emperor had to listen to him and give him some respect.
Now, he is just a dog in front of Di Ping.
Emperor Ping does not need a Prime Minister Wen who is good at dealing with people and is calm in dealing with things, nor does he need a Saint Wen who is well-versed in all schools of thought and almost omnipotent. What Emperor Ping needs is just an obedient dog.
"With the death of these scholars and teachers of Tiandao Academy, will Tiandao Academy be finished?"
Emperor Ping sneered, "I have 40 million people in Yuanshuo. Will the sky fall if they are missing? Yuanshuo has plenty of talents. If they die out, we can just select new people from all over the country! I am the sky of Yuanshuo! As long as I am here, the sky will not fall!"
The old fox said nothing more and hurried forward to prepare.
Qiu Shuijing walked out of the small palace gate and heard the sound of a door closing behind him. In front of him were the soldiers guarding the outer city, all of whom were his direct young officials.
"The master is here." Qiu Shuijing saw a young and childish face.
That was a scholar from Tiandao Academy, his student, with hope in his eyes. That was his confidence in Qiu Shuijing!
"Teacher! Are there any reinforcements?" Qiu Shuijing saw the teacher from Tiandao Academy again.
There were also young scholars who were inspired by him and followed his reform. At this moment, they looked at him and said, "Sir, someone is inciting the people and stirring up this turmoil!"
"Mr. Shui Jing, this matter can be resolved. We only need to mobilize the imperial guards, offer the sacred treasure, and kill the leader of the bandits, and this group of rabble will scatter like birds and beasts!"
The person who was speaking was just like him. He opened his eyes to the world and found Yuan Shuo's backwardness and difficulties. He wanted to save the situation. When he heard that he wanted to reform, he took the initiative to come and join him.
"Master, it's okay."
The maid Shaoying came to him and whispered, "We will not abandon the master."
Qiu Shuijing looked at these familiar faces and their expectant eyes. Suddenly, he felt a blockage in his chest and his throat became hoarse, unable to speak.
"Kill Shui Jing and clear the emperor's side!"
Outside there were the shouts of indignant people. These people wanted to rush here to kill Qiu Shuijing, revive the royal family, and revive Yuan Shuo.
Many people have already rushed to the front to resist the people who are rushing into the imperial city. However, among the people coming there are strong men from various major families. They can only hold on and wait for his good news.
But they could not hold on for long. More and more powerful men rushed into the outer city of the imperial city and tried to open the gate. They fought desperately, but casualties continued to occur.
Even the scholars and teachers of Tiandao Academy were often killed by hidden arrows or the magical powers of their opponents.
"boom!"
Someone outside was mobilizing huge spiritual soldiers to try to attack the imperial city.
Qiu Shuijing looked outside and saw the magical weapon of the Sima family, a noble family in Dongdu, the Panlong Mace.
There is a golden dragon carved on the outside of the golden mace, coiled around the mace. Once it is raised, the golden mace turns into a six-sided golden pillar. The person holding the mace will have infinite power, surrounded by golden dragons, and can destroy mountains and rivers!
Treasures like spiritual weapons are simply not something that ordinary people can own. Even for aristocratic families, it would take many generations to refine one to serve as a guardian of the clan.
Now the people outside have actually used spiritual soldiers to attack the imperial city, indicating that the major families in Dongdu City have torn their faces apart and are preparing to force the emperor to abdicate!
At this time, there were waves of spiritual soldiers coming from outside the city again.
That was the dragon and phoenix double-edged sword, a spiritual weapon of the Cao family, an aristocratic family in Dongdu. After the swords were drawn, the two swords flew together like a dragon and a phoenix, sharp as a match. After the two swords were combined, the sword light was hundreds of feet long, indestructible!
Another huge hammer flew over and smashed into the imperial city. It was the treasure of the Dian family, a noble family in Dongdu!
Another golden book flew over, and when it unfolded, iron horses and weapons roared out of the book, turning into thousands of troops and rushing into the imperial city, overwhelming the scholars and officials of the reform faction.
Although the imperial city is strong, the people outside are mobilizing more and more spiritual soldiers, and their power is getting stronger and stronger. The imperial city will soon be unable to withstand it!
At that time, people will flock here.
These reformist scholars and officials will be crushed to pieces like a row of eggs hitting a stone.
"Reinforcements..."
Qiu Shuijing heard his own voice coming out of his mouth, which was very unfamiliar: "It will come. Don't worry, Shuijing will be with you in life and death. Just hold on a little longer, the reinforcements will really come."
"boom!"
The gates of the imperial city were broken down by the spirit soldiers, and people poured in like a black wave, with countless voices shouting, "Kill Shui Jing, and clear the emperor's side! Kill Shui Jing, and clear the emperor's side!"
The scholars and officials of the reform faction quickly retreated with Qiu Shuijing. Everyone used their magical powers to build many barriers. Some people practiced civil engineering magic and immediately used it to transform it into a city wall.
However, the next moment it was smashed to pieces by the flying spiritual weapons!
Among the surging crowd, there are spirits that stand tall like ghosts and gods, holding all kinds of spiritual weapons. They are the strong men in the celestial realm among the aristocratic families!
With these powerful men around, plus the spiritual soldiers of the major families, they were simply unable to build effective defensive fortifications.
"There will be reinforcements, there will be reinforcements..."
Qiu Shuijing retreated to the inner city of the imperial city under the support of the crowd, muttering: "I will live with you and die with you..."
To the rear is the inner city of the imperial city, which is impregnable, guarded by imperial guards and with the palace gates tightly locked.
They have no way out.
"Sir, they are the common people of Dongdu, I can't do anything to them!" The young scholar from Tiandao Academy cried as he watched the people pouring in like a tide.
A ray of sword light flew out from the crowd that was surging like a tide, and the head of the scholar from Tiandao Academy flew up, with a look of confusion still on his young face.
"I will be with you in life and in death..." said Qiu Shuijing.
His gaze fell on the flying head of the young scholar from the Taoist Academy that day. Looking at the confused expression, suddenly, something in his heart seemed to break.
With a snap, it shattered into pieces.
"ah-"
He opened his mouth and shouted to the sky, the raging vital energy burned in his body, and the boundless devilish nature quickly occupied his heart.
Seventy-two caves appeared in the sky, distorting time and space, and it seemed as if there were demons roaring in the caves.
Click, click!
The ground outside the imperial city kept exploding and cracking. The huge crack was his Li Abyss. The abyss separated the people who were rushing in. The wind was howling in the abyss, as if a huge monster was shouting miserably.
The Lizhu rose slowly and turned into Qiu Shuijing's thousand-foot soul. The soul was disturbed by the rolling evil energy and let out a painful roar towards the sky.
"ah-"
The sound seemed to reach the sky. 77,860 miles above the ground, the huge flags of a magnificent sailing ship suddenly changed in unison, facing the sun and gathering the sunlight.
Rays of light descended from the sky and illuminated Qiu Shuijing's soul!
"boom!"
The Panlong Mace of the Sima family and the astronomical master of the Sima family exploded and turned into powder under the bombardment of Qiu Shuijing's spiritual power. The terrifying magical power burst out, and hundreds of people around were directly evaporated!
Qiu Shuijing shouted to the sky, the darkness in his eyes continued to surge, blocking the last bit of light in his pupils!
The dragon and phoenix double-edged swords of the Cao family were melted by the magical power of his spirit, turning into molten iron that flowed freely on the ground outside the imperial city, igniting a raging fire and setting the houses on fire. People who could not escape in time were also burned by the fire.
The giant hammer of the Dian family was smashed into a discus by his spiritual punch, and the people around him danced and flew into the air.
In the inner city of the imperial city, Di Ping stood in front of the Golden Throne Hall and laughed at the scene: "Teacher, you are the same as me, you are the same as me!"
Outside Dongdu, a hundred miles away from Dongdu, a black dragon was galloping with a girl in red on its back.
The young girl Wutong looked up and saw this scene from afar. She saw the giant killing everyone in the imperial city. She couldn't help but smile: "Su Lang, Su Lang, I win again!"
Qiu Shuijing started a killing spree like a demon god, but the next moment, dozens of spiritual soldiers flew up, bursting with power, and bombarded him and the reformist scholars and officials behind him.
The strong men from the aristocratic families in Dongdu no longer bothered to hide and began to use the power of their families!
Qiu Shuijing tried his best to resist, but there was a loud bang, and his body retreated and was pressed against the wall of the inner city of the imperial city.
"Protect the sir!" The scholars and officials around him shouted and rushed towards the second wave of spiritual soldiers.
"No..."
Qiu Shuijing vomited blood and looked at the scholars flying up. He felt his soul sinking into endless darkness.
Just when he was about to be completely swallowed by the darkness, the Eastern Capital Imperial City suddenly changed. A cloud rose slowly from the ninth floor, and it seemed like a cloud made up of countless dust particles. It changed rapidly, revealing the geography of the imperial city.
Then the clouds changed, and the inner city and the outer city replaced each other.
All of a sudden, all the buildings in the entire Dongdu Imperial City were moving, changing, reorganizing, and reconstructing at a rapid speed!
Some flew up, some moved, some turned into flying sand and flew away, some sank directly into the ground, and some rose from the ground!
The next moment, the inner city turned into the outer city, and the outer city turned into the inner city.
The Imperial City's Royal Guards and Jinwu Guards looked up and saw the overwhelming spiritual soldiers and the huge crowds of people coming at them.
"Clear the imperial court—" people shouted.
