Jiang Baiqing, who was far away in Jinling, received an urgent report, sighed after reading it, and put it on the case.

"The hidden bat failed to assassinate Jiang Cheng in Shouzhou," Jiang Baiqing said to Zhu Huizhen, who was standing aside.

"Could it be that he wants to betray the sect?" Zhu Huizhen said angrily, "He actually ignored the precepts of the sect and killed his fellow disciples without authorization." ”

"As a grandmaster, how can you care about the rules that bind ordinary people?" Jiang Baiqing said, "If he cared about this, he wouldn't have become a grandmaster, let alone a hidden bat." ”

"If you don't reveal his identity to Wang Xu, those families in Jiangnan won't let him stay in the position of the commander of the water master." Zhu Hui said hatefully.

It seems that Zhu Huizhen is Jiang Baiqing's real confidant and knows the identity of Wang Naxiang.

"No, that's a little clever and not a big wisdom, but I don't know if he wants to peek into the position of the sect master, or if he wants to set up his own door?" Jiang Baiqing shook his head and said.

As he spoke, Zhu Huizhen moved to sit on Jiang Baiqing's lap, and his jade arms hugged his neck.

"That phase is greedy for power, not only staring at the prosperous land of Yangzhou and unwilling to let go, but also thinking that he can ascend to the position of the suzerain, even if he retreats to the second, he can also set up his own door and dominate one side." Jiang Baiqing stretched out into Bai Huizhen's arms and stroked it gently, "Since Li Yuan and Li Shimin set the Dingding, the general trend has come, and we and other southerners have no chance to rule the world again. Whether it is me or Wang Xu, they both see this, and with the help of playing a game to show Wu Zetian, a little power is not worth taking too seriously. That Xiang has been arrogant and conceited since he was a child, and now he is just looking for his own death, just to sharpen Jiang Cheng, my Jiang family can occupy the position of the sect master for generations, and the strength beyond the group is the real reliance. ”

In Shouzhou, Li Rong had no intention of political affairs, locked himself in the courtyard, and talked about martial arts with Fan Li and Jiang Cheng in his spare time, and he was very comfortable.

Outside, however, earth-shaking changes have taken place, and the situation has changed dramatically.

Li Chong, the king of Bozhou Assassin Shi Langya, rebelled and led 5,000 soldiers and horses to cross the river to capture Jeju, but was unexpectedly blocked by Wushui Ling Guo Wu under Wushui City, and it was a stalemate for a while. Li Chong fled back to Bozhou with some cronies in embarrassment, and was assassinated at the city gate, and the head was cut off and taken away, the rebellious team completely collapsed, and the city was in chaos.

The leaderless Bozhou officials immediately turned to the court and submitted a letter to the imperial court, but unfortunately they met Qiu Shenji, the general of Jin Wuwei, who was known for his ruthless and blood-eating and came to quell the rebellion.

The counterinsurgency army of the imperial court arrived at Bozhou City at dusk. Dozens of officials in Bozhou City wore plain clothes, bowed in front of the city gate, and trembled and prostrate on the ground, waiting for an unknown fate.

Qiu Shenji wore a dark red armor and a blood-red cloak, riding a red horse six feet tall, like a blood-clothed knight from hell. The four hooves of the war horse were lightly raised, and the dust and mist were flying.

It was followed by hundreds of cavalry, and then an army of tens of thousands of people, pressing down like a black cloud on the horizon.

One zhang away from the city gate of Bozhou, Qiu Shenji took the reins lightly, stepped off the front hooves of the war horse and took off, suddenly paused from the gallop at great speed, and let out a loud long neigh.

Ordinary knights naturally did not have this kind of kung fu, and after a long time, they began to reduce the speed of their horses, and slowly controlled the war horses to follow.

"Chenbo Governor Shi Cui Yuanzong was coerced by Li Chong, the king of Langya, and he was deeply guilty," "Chen Bozhou joined the army Li Heng was deeply guilty," the officials who knelt on the ground loudly shouted to Qiu Shenji.

Rebellion against the court is a heinous crime, even the three clans, but the law does not blame the public, in the past, the court generally only talked about the first evil of rebellion, and the following officials were not very responsible, and the punishment of cutting off their posts and removing officials can be.

"You also know that the guilt is great, and if the guilt is great, why don't you die?" Qiu Shenji said indifferently.

"Kill," Hearing Qiu Shenji's words, the soldiers who had served under his account for a long time knew what to do, and rushed over with their horses and swords.

"Ahh The officials who knelt on the ground were usually pampered, and after seeing such a scene, many of them were so frightened that they collapsed on the ground, and some struggled to get up and wanted to escape, but the war horses that could run over four legs.

The snow-bright sword light flashed, and the heads with frightened faces fell into the dust, and blood gushed out from the neck cavity, forming a bloody mist and a bloody sunset on the horizon, looking so miserable.

Watching the blood mist rise, Qiu Shenji felt that the long-suppressed desire to devour blood in his heart was violently hot, the blood was about to boil, and the true qi accompanied by the blood flowed everywhere, instantly swimming all over the body, from the dantian to the meridians straight to the mind.

Under the reflection of the bloody sunset, Qiu Shenji's blood flames rose all over his body, and thousands of air holes on his body surface, like flames, were like a blood light, which was very weird.

The horse that stepped down was attacked by the blood flame, and suddenly screamed, and then the cry stopped hoarsely. After the blood flames, the war horse actually began to burn, and the flesh and blood seemed to turn into fuel, making the flames even more intense, and even the bones turned to ashes after a few breaths.

"It's done!" Qiu Shenji raised his hands and sighed softly in surprise, indescribable joy.

Years of wish have finally come true, let's use more blood to commemorate his success at this time!

"Bozhou officials are rebellious and heinous, and they will all be exterminated!" Qiu Shenji shouted wildly, his body moved, like a blood-colored lightning rushing towards the city wall, his toes were on the city wall, and he stood on the city tower in a few vertical leaps.

When the wolf-like soldiers heard the commander's order, they all became hideous and rushed into Bozhou City with a roar.

The commander's order undoubtedly gave the soldiers a license to loot, and this was a good opportunity to make a fortune, and whoever would miss it was a rebel anyway, and no one would speak for them.

Standing on the city tower, watching the torrent-like army enter the city, watching the soldiers frantically rush into the homes of officials and civilians to burn and loot, and watching the sunset outside the sky like blood, Qiu Shenji feels that everything in the world is under control, let them live and die, all in their own thoughts, this is power, this is achievement, this is their own martial arts.

At this moment, Qiu Shenji clearly saw the path he was on, a road leading to the realm of martial arts. Power, only with power can he kill unscrupulously, hone his martial arts, and achieve the supreme realm of the great grandmaster.

Master Luoyang, control the imperial court, and then dominate the world.

At the same time that Qiu Shenji, the general of Jin Wuwei, pacified the rebellion of Li Chong in Bozhou, Zhang Guangfu commanded the army to attack Yuzhou City. Li Zhen, the king of Yue, led 3,000 elite horsemen to raid Zhang Guangfu's Chinese army camp on the border of Yuzhou and Xuzhou, but encountered Zhang Guangfu's desperate resistance, although the army suffered heavy losses, and finally repelled Li Zhen, so that Li Zhen's last line of vitality was extinguished, and the road to Yuzhou City was opened.

On the seventh day of the ninth month, the city of Yuzhou, which had lasted for less than a day, fell majestically under the siege of the imperial army, and the soldiers who defended the city fled in all directions, or obediently threw down their weapons and surrendered to the imperial court.

Li Zhen, the king of Yue, saw that the general trend had gone, and took his wife to the fire ****, the young son Li Gui, the generals Pei Shoude, and Fu Yanqing all died in the city, and the bodies were transported to Luoyang to show the public, and the head was hung above the city gate.

After Li Zhen's defeat, Wu Zetian began to attack the Li royal family, and collected Li Yuanjia, the king of Han, Li Yuankui, the king of Lu, and Li Yuankui, the king of Huang, in the eastern capital, forcing him to commit suicide.

"With the winter official and the governor of Jiangnan, Di Renjie is the assassin of Yuzhou, and he admires this." Li Shangzhen, who was in charge of announcing the decree, rolled up the holy decree and handed it to Di Renjie, "There is Lao Di Gong." ”

"Shang Zhen is polite." Di Renjie replied.

Li Shangzhen has now been promoted to the rank of servant of the Ministry of Officials, and this time he came in person to clarify the legacy of King Yue, and the position of the governor of Yangzhou will also be easier.

Shi Gong Pengzu, the governor of Yangzhou, was dismissed from his position, and Zhang Qian, the assassin of Quan Seshou Prefecture, was transferred to the post of Changshi, which was regarded as the biggest beneficiary, which also came from Di Renjie's recommendation.

After Li Shangzhen, Di Renjie and Yangzhou officials were noisy, they stayed, and he wanted to see Zhang Qian before leaving.

Yuan Xingchong also received Wu Zetian's secret decree and returned to Beijing on a starry night.

Di Renjie summoned Li Yuanfang after the dinner.

"Yuan Fang, you should also return to Beijing as soon as possible!" Di Renjie said

"Then how can you do it if there is no one to guard you?" Li Yuanfang said.

"It's okay, there was no one around me before, didn't I come here anyway?" Di Renjie said, "In a few days, I will go north to Yuzhou and join Yuan Ming, you go back to Luoyang to clean up the mess, and you must not let Qiu Shenji control the underground forces in Luoyang." ”

"I know." Li Yuanfang said.

Tsing Yi Society is not only his personal effort, but also a tool for many sons and daughters under his command to make a living, and without him, the backbone will be swallowed by the coveted tigers and wolves around him.

Now that the Queen Mother has made up her mind, she will ascend the throne as the emperor in the near future and become a female emperor who has never been seen in the ages. Her power is flourishing, no one inside and outside the court can contend with it, Xu Jingye and Li Zhen have failed in successive armies, so that there is no force to challenge her authority, so we must also be patient and wait for change, as long as the Queen Mother does not go against the grain, she will not be an enemy with it, and everything will be based on the stability of all the people. Di Renjie said.

Wu Zetian's methods can be described as rare in the ages, and she overwhelms the man who has always occupied the peak of power with a woman's body, and you can imagine how outstanding her wisdom and talent are. Di Renjie was also admired.

In addition to being a daughter, Di Renjie believes that Wu Zetian can be called a monarch with means and ability.

"Okay, you have to be careful." Li Yuanfang said.
