Jianshan,

Seeing that the jade talisman was shattered, Dugu Jingyu was stunned for a while.

Since sending Li Qing'an and them to the lower realm, he has returned to Sword Mountain.

With his identity, if he leaves Sword Mountain for too long, it will inevitably arouse suspicion.

There is a wisp of Li Qing'an's Yuan Shen on this jade talisman, and now the jade talisman is broken, and the result is self-evident.

"How could it be ......"

Dugu Jingyu's eyes were torn apart, and he said angrily: "Damn it! ”

"What the hell is going on?"

In the lower realm, with Li Qing'an's strength, how could something happen?

What's more, when he was in the lower realm, Hongchan had assured him that the strength of the lower realm was not strong at all, and if it weren't for that, they wouldn't have to soar.

Dugu Jingyu put down the broken jade talisman and planned to go to the Dazhi Temple.

In any case, he had to ask Hongchan for an explanation on this matter.

As soon as Dugu Jingyu walked out of the main hall, his face suddenly changed, and he shouted angrily: "Presumptuous! ”

An angry shout was like a thunderstorm in the nine heavens, and the sound shook the heavens and the earth.

At this moment, all the Sword Mountain disciples raised their heads in unison and looked at the sky in confusion.

Almost instantly, Dugu Jingyu took a step forward, stepped into the air, and a terrifying sword aura erupted around his body.

Ten thousand sword qi soared into the sky!

Sword Qi is raging!

Dugu Jingyu made a move, and a purple sword light swept in the distance, and the thunder was mighty.

Dense purple thunder and lightning wrapped around his body for a moment, leaving only a pair of cold, emotionless eyes.

"Broken!"

Dugu Jingyu shouted loudly and swung his sword out.

The void in front of him seemed to be shattered by this sword, and the void trembled, revealing a vague figure.

Ripples ripple along the space.

Dugu Jingyu was already upset and irritable because of Li Qing'an's death, but now when he saw this figure, he was immediately angry.

But the next moment, the figure whose face couldn't be seen clearly suddenly said, "Everyone, don't shoot together." ”

He also secretly complained in his heart.

What's going on?

Is this guy crazy?

The moment his words fell, two figures appeared around him at the same time, the figures were hazy, and their breath was hidden in the heavens and the earth.

Dugu Jingyu glared angrily and shouted: "Start the battle!" ”

In an instant, tens of thousands of long swords located in the Sword Mountain trembled in unison, and countless Sword Mountain disciples drew their swords out of their sheaths, forming a majestic array.

The entire sky seemed to be covered by a rain of swords, and the power was terrifying.

The slaughter is on fire!

……

Western Regions, inside the Dazhi Temple.

Looking at the broken Buddha card, Hongchan's brows tightened, and he was also puzzled in his heart.

In the case of the following realm, it is impossible for Kong Xuan to have an accident.

Unless......

Hongchan's eyes narrowed slightly, and a worry swelled up in his heart.

"Someone else is in the Netherworld?"

After all, he was not the only one who knew about the law of the nether realm.

Since he can find the jade pendant, it is possible for others to find other jade pendants and use them to the lower realm.

But he still doesn't understand that with the identity of Kongxuan, even if he really meets other nethers, he will give some face, and he will not really face each other in life and death.

"...... of Sword Mountain" Hongchan frowned slightly, and muttered: "Could it be that the people of Sword Mountain discovered the mystery of the Nether?" ”

"Or is there another chance?"

Most likely, it is the people of Sword Mountain, and the strength of the Great Elder of Sword Mountain, Li Qing'an, should not be underestimated.

Hongchan did not associate this matter with Lin Mang, first, he concluded that Lin Mang did not know the law of the lower realm, and second, even if Lin Mang was in the lower realm, with his strength, it was impossible for him to be Kongxuan's opponent.

"Amitabha."

Hongchan recited a Buddha horn lightly and slowly turned the Buddha beads in his hand.

……

In just a few days, the return of Wu'an Hou caused an uproar in the rivers and lakes.

In the streets and alleys of the capital, there are people who are talking about this matter.

It has been more than two years since Wu Anhou was promoted, and many people are about to ignore this matter, but when this news came, it instantly became the focus of discussion among everyone in the rivers and lakes.

Since the ascension of Wu'an Hou, whether it is the rivers and lakes or the court, it is actually not peaceful.

The various factions in the rivers and lakes have fought against Jinyiwei, and the hundreds of officials in the court have also targeted Jinyiwei many times.

But with the return of Wu'anhou, it seems that the lake surface of the surging tide suddenly calms.

All those who are secretly doing things have died down.

No one would have thought that Wu Anhou had obviously ascended, and he would appear again.

As the news broke, the Mongol tribes on the border of Chen Bing quickly withdrew their troops overnight.

The king of Shunyi of the Turghut tribe once again presented a letter of surrender.

The barbarian troops in Liaodong quietly withdrew, and the war in Liaodong, which had been fought for three months, was instantly calmed down.

On the rivers and lakes, many Jianghu sects came to various Jinyi Wei thousands of households to surrender on the second day.

Countless brocade guards came out in all directions, running on the rivers and lakes.

For a time, there was a bloody storm on the rivers and lakes.

This scene reminded everyone of the era when the brocade guards rode out and suppressed the rivers and lakes.

Imperial Palace, inside the Wude Palace.

Zhu Changluo, who was once complacent, stood in front of the window with his hair scattered, the dragon robe on his body was crumpled, and his eyes were blank.

The entire Wude Hall was empty, and it seemed extremely silent.

The cool breeze blew and lifted Zhu Changluo's long hanging hair.

For all this, Zhu Changluo seemed to turn a deaf ear.

Now the entire Wude Hall has been firmly controlled by the Jinyi Guard, and it is difficult for anyone to get close.

At this moment, a figure outside the hall slowly walked forward.

"Master Hou!"

The surrounding brocade guards hurriedly saluted.

Lin Mang waved his hand and said calmly, "Open the door." ”

The brocade guards guarding the temple gate got up and pushed the temple door open.

"Boom!"

Hearing the sound of the palace gate opening, Zhu Changluo glanced back.

Seeing that it was Lin Mang, Zhu Changluo was stunned at first, forcibly suppressed the fear in his heart, and pretended to be calm: "Wu Anhou is here, is he planning to let me out?" ”

Lin Mang didn't speak, but just motioned to the brocade guard behind him to bring the lunch box.

Jin Yiwei, who followed behind Lin Mang, quickly stepped forward, took out the dishes in the lunch box one by one, and then placed them on the table.

A brocade guard brought a chair for Lin Mang.

"Your Majesty, sit down."

Lin Mang lifted his robe and sat down, looking at Zhu Changluo with a smile.

Zhu Changluo was stunned, and carefully sat down opposite Lin Mang, his expression looking a little worried.

Lin Mang lifted the wine jug, poured a glass for Zhu Changluo, and asked with a smile: "Ben Hou has not been here for two years, how does Your Majesty feel?" ”

"I'm afraid this son is not easy to sit, right?"

Zhu Changluo wanted to speak and stopped.

Although more than two years had passed, the moment he saw Lin Mang, he realized how deep his fear of him was.

He couldn't remember where that fear came from.

Perhaps it was when Wu Anhou handed the knife to him and asked him to execute the traitor with his own hands.

Or is it the attitude of the hundred officials towards Wu Anhou above the court at the beginning.

He thought that he already had the courage to face Wu Anhou, but in the end, he was just deceiving himself.

Zhu Changluo sighed, looked lonely, and asked, "Are those people also from the Land of Ascension?" ”

He also saw the scene of that day.

The strength of those people was far from being comparable to that of the Tongtian Realm, and it was even terrifyingly strong.

Lin Mang took the wine glass and drank it all, nodded, and said flatly: "That's right." ”

"It's really powerful." Zhu Changluo said with emotion.

This kind of powerful power is what he dreamed of, but now everything has come to naught.

Lin Mang stared at Zhu Changluo and said lightly: "Does Your Majesty know how your first emperor died?" ”

Zhu Changluo's eyes flickered, his expression was a little unnatural, and he said softly: "I was killed by the traitor Zhu Zaichang." ”

"Huh!"

Lin Mang chuckled, looked at Zhu Changluo with a smile, and said meaningfully: "This is just an external statement." ”

"Your Majesty has been in power for two years, hasn't you investigated the original matter at all?"

"What is the truth, does Your Majesty really not know anything about it?"

Zhu Changluo's hand holding the wine glass trembled slightly, and he subconsciously lowered his head, not daring to look at Lin Mang's eyes.

Of course he checked, and even checked more than once.

Half a year after the promotion of Wu'an Hou, he sent people from Xichang to investigate the matter.

Although many people are silent about this matter, there is no impermeable wall in the world, and there will always be people who are willing to speak.

It was precisely because he knew that he did not dare to speak, so he could only pretend to be confused.

Lin Mang put down the wine glass, stood up, looked out of the window with deep eyes, his eyes were indifferent, and he said lightly: "The first emperor did not die at the hands of traitors, but was forced to die by Benhou. ”

Zhu Changluo's pupils shrank suddenly, the knuckles holding the wine glass turned white, and countless cold sweats oozed from both sides of his forehead.

He didn't expect Lin Mang to say this.

And he only found out that the death of the first emperor had something to do with Lin Mang, but he never thought that it was Wu Anhou who personally forced the first emperor to death.

In an instant, a trace of anger surged in Zhu Changluo's heart.

The revenge of killing the father is not shared!

He wanted to reprimand Lin Mang loudly, but when the words came to his mouth, it was difficult to speak, and he opened his mouth several times, but in the end he didn't say a word.

It wasn't that he didn't, but he didn't dare.

Lin Mang looked at Zhu Changluo and said in a calm tone: "The first emperor and the prince of Ben Hou have a game, and no one wants to see this scene." ”

"But there is no such thing as the best of both worlds, and if he doesn't die, I have to die."

People are selfish, and it is impossible for him to be killed.

Lin Mang turned around, pointed to the beam behind Zhu Changluo, and suddenly smiled: "Do you know? ”

"The First Emperor once hanged himself on this beam behind you."

Hearing this, Zhu Changluo's face suddenly turned pale, and he got up from the seat in shock.

Lin Mang chuckled softly.

Regarding this matter, although many of the original insiders died, he never thought that this matter would be kept under wraps, and there was no need for it.

It's one thing to know, but it's another to dare to say it.

Lin Mang put away the smile on his face and said lightly: "Your Majesty, Benhou has already said that Benhou is not interested in this throne. ”

"As the Son of Heaven, what you should think about is to make the lives of the people in the world better, and how to continue the Ming Dynasty."

"But what about you?"

Lin Mang's tone suddenly turned cold.

In an instant, the temperature in the entire Martial Arts Hall seemed to plummet, falling into extreme cold.

Lin Mang said coldly: "The battle in Liaodong started, tens of thousands of soldiers died, Jianzhou was lost, the barbarians went south, Li Chengliang worked hard for three months, but the capital did not send a single soldier. ”

"Have you ever thought about the consequences of Liaodong's loss?"

"The towns of Ningxia, the Mongolian tribes attacked the border, and hundreds of people were displaced!"

"The wealthy families of the rivers and lakes are rising, the turmoil is endless, the government is chaotic, and the traitors are in charge!"

"Is this what you do, this is your way of being a king?"

Every time Lin Mang said a word, Zhu Changluo's face turned pale, his body trembled slightly, and he staggered backwards.

"I ......"

Zhu Changluo's lips moved slightly, and he stopped talking.

Lin Mang sneered: "Playing tricks? ”

"Why!?"

"Why do you think that you can play those civil and military generals who have been up and down in the sea for decades, do you really think they are afraid of you?"

"Or do you think they're all iron-clad and loyal?"

Lin Mang approached Zhu Changluo step by step.

Zhu Changluo subconsciously kept retreating, and the whole person leaned on the pillar behind him.

Lin Mang paused, looked at Zhu Changluo with a frightened expression, and said coldly: "Ben Hou has already given you a chance. ”

Zhu Changluo's face changed slightly.

Lin Mang's words made him suddenly feel a little bad in his heart.

Although Zhu Changluo has been in power for several years and has developed a momentum in his body, how can he compare with Lin Mang, a martial immortal who fought out of the sea of blood in the corpse mountain.

Just a little momentum, Zhu Changluo was terrified.

"You are very incompetent as an emperor."

Lin Mang dropped a sentence and turned around and walked outside the main hall.

At the same time, the two brocade guards who were waiting outside the hall walked quickly into the main hall.

One holds a white silk in his hand, and the other holds a pot of poisoned wine.

Seeing this scene, Zhu Changluo's face completely changed, a trace of horror appeared in his eyes, and his body slowly slid to the ground against the pillar weakly.

Zhu Changluo struggled to get up, laughed miserably, and didn't say anything.

At this point, there is no point in saying anything more.

Zhu Changluo smiled self-deprecatingly, stood up and sat back in his chair, looked in the direction of the outside of the hall, and said loudly: "Wu'an Hou, I always owe you a thank you." ”

He was able to become this emperor because of Wu Anhou, which he always knew.

At the moment when he was about to step out of the palace gate, Lin Mang suddenly stopped and said calmly: "Send Your Majesty on the road!" ”

The door of the temple behind him slowly closed.

closed together, as well as Zhu Changluo's short road to imperial power, as well as his short life.

"Tick!"

In the sky, drops of rain fell from the sky, and in the blink of an eye, it became a downpour.

Rainwater dripped down the eaves of the palace and splashed onto the bluestone floor.

Lin Mang stretched out his hand to catch a drop of falling rain, and said calmly: "Send someone to tell the king of Shunyi and the Mongolian tribes, and let him take all the generals who invaded the border into the capital within ten days, and then gather the heads of 100,000 people who control the strings." ”

"If it's not enough, Ben Hou will go and get it himself!"

Lin Mang walked towards the outside of the courtyard, and where he passed along the way, the heavy rain suddenly stopped, suspended in mid-air.

"Tomorrow's edict will be issued to hundreds of officials, Your Majesty will suddenly have a bad illness, and Zen is located in the new emperor Zhu Changxun."

"Decree to the world, no one of the Tantric people in the Central Plains will be left, and anyone who colludes with the Tantric sect will be punished with the same crime."

"Send 200,000 soldiers and horses from the Beijing battalion into Liaodong, since the barbarians and Jurchens are unwilling to obey, there is no need to exist."

As the words fell, Lin Mang's figure slowly disappeared into the rain.
