Chapter 1647: Backstabbing

Palace.

Inside the Imperial Garden.

The breeze blew through the corridor pavilion in the park, and Huo Quzhi lifted the chess pieces in his hand and slowly landed somewhere on the chessboard.

"I see, what you mean." Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty said as he fell, "If evil is rampant today, we really need a priest who can suppress the evil turmoil...... The establishment of the Suppression of Evil Divisions has been approved. โ€

Hearing this answer, Huo Quzhi's expression relaxed a little, and after a moment of silence, he said again:

"Your Majesty, regarding the Suppression of Evil Division, the minister still has one more matter to ask Your Majesty to answer."

"What?"

"The minister hopes that the Evil Suppression Division can be independent of the court situation, not transferred by anyone, and only obeys the orders of the chief director."

Emperor Wu of Han's hand was about to fall slightly, and his brows furrowed:

"Not even me?"

"Nope." Huo Quzhi said categorically.

Emperor Wu of Han frowned and stared at him for a long time, threw the chess pieces back into the basket, and said in a cold voice, "Champion Hou, do you know what you are talking about?" โ€

"The minister knows." Huo Quzhi took a deep breath, "Your Majesty, the Evil Suppression Division was born to suppress evil spirits, and its members are all aliens, and the power that aliens can possess is far beyond what the world thinks...... Such a group of priests composed of different scholars is destined to have the energy to change the situation of the Han Dynasty and even the entire world.

Your Majesty is wise and martial, if the evil suppression division is handed over to Your Majesty for mobilization, the minister will naturally rest assured...... But what if one day, Your Majesty is gone? โ€

Huo Quzhi's voice was extremely solemn, he knew that what he was saying now was definitely a big rebellion, and looking at Emperor Wu of Han's face, it was indeed not very good...... But there are some things he still has to say.

"Can Your Majesty guarantee that Your Majesty's children and grandchildren will be as wise and upright as you? If Your Majesty created a precedent that the emperor could mobilize the evil suppression division at will, would the emperor in the future not use such a force with the power to change the world?

In case one day the court situation is turbulent and the traitors collude with the prince to reproduce the scene of seizing the heir back then, sooner or later, the evil suppression division will be involved in the court situation and manipulated by people with evil intentions.

When the time comes, the world will be in chaos! โ€

Emperor Wu of Han had a calm face and fell into deep thought......

In the final analysis, the Evil Suppression Division with many aliens like Huo Quzhi, Zhan Yuwu, and Yan Zhong is no different from nuclear weapons...... And once nuclear weapons appear in the process of regime change and are held by a certain force, it will be a disaster.

No matter what, Huo Quzhi didn't want the evil suppression division he established with his own hands to become a tool for power and profit in the future.

And Emperor Wu of Han was still frowning and pondering, and had no intention of agreeing.

He could allow Huo Qubing to establish the Suppression of Evil Sects and eliminate evil cults for the Han Dynasty, but as an emperor, he didn't want any force beyond his control to appear, not to mention, the potential of this force could threaten his throne.

"I ......"

"Your Majesty, it's not good!"

As soon as Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty spoke, a figure hurriedly ran over from a distance, it was Gonggong Li, who had brought Huo to get sick before.

"What's the matter?" Emperor Wu of Han looked a little displeased.

"Out of town...... The expeditionary force left by the marquis outside the city has entered Chang'an City! โ€

"What?!"

Hearing this, Emperor Wu of Han's face changed greatly, he suddenly turned his head to look at Huo Quai, and Sen Ran spoke: "Huo Quai...... Are you trying to rebel? โ€

"The minister has no such intention!" Huo Quzhi immediately spoke, and his eyes were full of puzzlement.

"Your Majesty, those who rushed in don't look like people...... He, after they died, they all turned into wickers, and they still moved! Still shouting that there are monsters in Chang'an City, and now the Yulin Army outside the city has been wiped out.

Your Majesty, how is this good?! โ€

"Wicker changed?" Emperor Wu of Han's face changed one after another, "Could it be that it's some kind of evil?" โ€

"Your Majesty, this matter will be resolved." Huo Quzhi stood up from his seat, his face was extremely serious, "Please also ask Your Majesty to return to the palace, within half a day, the minister will definitely calm down the turmoil in Chang'an." โ€

Emperor Wu of Han glanced at him, his expression was a little complicated, and then he nodded:

"Okay."

Huo Qubing personally sent Emperor Wu of Han to the palace, turned around and walked outside the palace, and Zhan Yuwu and others, who were waiting outside the imperial garden, followed quickly, and their faces were extremely solemn.

"Master Hou, I heard that something happened outside the palace?" Zhan Yuwu asked in a deep voice.

"Well, it is said that the people we brought back suddenly entered Chang'an City and turned into wicker...... It should be the smoke that we encountered at dawn today. Huo Qubing thought as he walked, "The top priority is to ...... first"

Poofโ€”โ€”!!

Before Huo Quzhi's words fell, a sharp knife tip stabbed out of his chest!

His form jerked in place.

Blood stained the tip of the knife red, and a drop fell to the ground, Huo Quzhi turned his head in astonishment, only to see Zhan Yuwu holding the scimitar, his eyes flashing with a cold light!

"Yuwu...... You ......"

"Don't pretend anymore." Zhan Yuwu's palm holding the hilt of the knife became more and more forceful, and a touch of black intent soaked the blade, and he said coldly, "Do you think you really deceived us?" โ€

"You monster! Where did you hide Master Hou?! โ€

Ode โ€”โ€”!!

A crescent-like knife slashed through Huo Quzhi's body, dripping with blood splattered out, instantly staining the stone road in front of the palace wall, and the next moment, the tall palace wall was also shattered by the crescent moon, and a corner collapsed.

Huo Quzhi's figure swept out of the smoke and dust quickly, a knife almost split his whole person in half, a flash of essence flashed in his eyes, and as soon as his left hand was raised, a black shadow floated out of nothingness, like a black flag, tightly wrapped around the flesh and blood gap on his body.

The body of the [Domination Emperor] was already very fragile, and he had no precautions against Zhan Yuwu and the others at all, Zhan Yuwu's knife was too fast, and at such a close distance, even he couldn't react at all.

He barely stabilized his figure, looking at Zhan Yuwu and the four awe-inspiring generals in front of him, his face was extremely gloomy!

If it weren't for the [Dark Brocade Clothes] he was wearing in his armor, Zhan Yuwu's [Shining Moon] just now would have been enough to seriously injure him...... He never thought that Zhan Yuwu would make a move on him.

"Yuwu, are you crazy?!"

"Crazy?" Zhan Yuwu shook his head, "I know exactly what I'm doing...... Only by killing you as a fake can we save the real Hou Ye! โ€

When the words fell, the scimitar in Zhan Yuwu's hand was dyed with black again, and the four generals behind him set off at the same time, killing Huo Qubing from different directions!

Seeing that the five people in front of him had already moved with murderous intent, Huo Quzhi's expression gradually became fierce, and his eyes swept over the five people one after another, not knowing what he was thinking......
