at the same time.
News about the battle in Xingqing Prefecture.
With the deliberate promotion of King Wu, it sprang up like mushrooms after rain and took only two days.
Then it spread throughout the Dawu Dynasty.
Even in Lingnan and Jiangdong, which were far away, the news was heard.
Instantly.
The people of the entire Dawu Dynasty were instantly excited.
Everyone was exclaiming the name of the Confucian Sword Immortal.
Chongli Prefecture.
Ten miles outside the city.
The camp of Prince Jin.
Today, ten days have passed since the Prince of Jin started his rebellion.
During these ten days.
The King of Jin attacked the city many times, but each time he returned in vain, lost many soldiers and generals, and was defeated.
The camp at this time.
It is no longer the same as it was back then, and the atmosphere of murder and suppression is overwhelming.
The remaining 400,000 soldiers were no longer as sharp as they were before, and everyone looked tired.
"Ten days."
"For ten whole days, we are still standing still, making no progress, and losing every time. How are we fighting this battle?"
"what?"
"Tell me, how was this battle fought?"
From the central military tent, the angry roar of King Jin was heard.
Inside the tent, all the generals lowered their heads, their faces filled with fear, and they were silent as a mouse.
Prince Jin sat on the upper seat with a grim look on his face.
His hawk-like eyes swept over the generals in the tent one by one.
"Aren't you all good at boasting on a daily basis?" Prince Jin said, slamming the table heavily.
'boom'
A heavy muffled sound.
Make everyone's heart skip a beat.
"Zhu Shen, what did you tell me when you came here?" asked the general named by the King of Jin.
His face turned pale instantly.
With a thump, he knelt down.
He said in a trembling voice: "I will be sentenced to death."
"capital offense?"
King Jin sneered, "Of course you are guilty of the death penalty. When you came here, you swore to me a military order, saying that if you fail to capture Chongli Prefecture within three days, you will be beheaded."
"Now ten days have passed, and Chongli Mansion has not been conquered yet. Do you think I should kill you?"
Zhu Shen's pupils shrank suddenly when he heard this.
Big beads of cold sweat dripped from his forehead. He was so terrified that he almost collapsed to the ground.
Seeing him so miserable.
King Jin cursed again: "Waste."
"And you, Chu Huang, I remember that you also signed a military order to me." After cursing, King Jin looked at a general with cold eyes.
"I will be sentenced to death."
Before King Jin could speak, Chu Huang was named.
He knelt down, knowing that he had no way out.
But he was not as bad as Zhu Shen.
He only said in a deep voice: "Please execute the military order, Your Majesty, and chop off my head."
"You are not afraid of death." King Jin laughed out of anger.
Another slap, slamming heavily on the table: "Come here, drag these two bastards away and chop them up."
"Here."
At the moment when King Jin roared.
Then four soldiers with curved swords on their waists came in and dragged the two generals away, one on the left and one on the right.
"Your Majesty."
"Now is the time to hire people, can you please?"
When the generals in the tent saw that the prince was serious, their faces changed slightly and they all knelt down.
Want to plead for Generals Zhu and Chu.
"Humph!"
But before he could finish his words, he was interrupted by the cold snort of King Jin: "Military orders are as heavy as a mountain, don't ask for mercy."
"Yes." The generals opened their mouths upon hearing this, but their words of plea were immediately choked back.
Military orders are as heavy as mountains, and a death penalty is a death penalty.
It's no use no matter who comes to plead.
They all know this truth.
"If you want to blame someone, blame you guys for having to issue a military order for no reason."
The generals shook their heads and said nothing more.
The prince is very angry right now, and anyone who pleads for mercy will be scolded at the least.
Once the prince gets angry again.
They were all dragged out and chopped off, leaving no place for tears.
Not long after.
A soldier with blood stains on his body returned to the tent and reported:
"Your Majesty, Generals Zhu and Chu have been beheaded in public."
Upon hearing this, King Jin waved his hand with a sullen face and said nothing.
Just like that, the tent fell into deathly silence, and one could hear a pin drop.
Until Lin Xuanru arrived.
Then he broke the silence: "Your Majesty, there is news from Xingqing Mansion."
"What's the matter?"
King Jin raised his eyes and glanced at Lin Xuanru who came hurriedly.
Lin Xuanru saw that Prince Jin was still angry, so he organized his words a little.
He replied succinctly:
"Two days ago, the remnants of the White Lotus Cult, who were hiding in Yangwu Town, more than a hundred miles north of Xingqing Prefecture, were wiped out. The participants included the Jinyiwei under the command of the Empress, the elders and disciples of the Qingyuan Sword Sect, as well as the Black Ice Platform and the Xianzhen Camp under the command of the Zhenbei King. Even the King of Wu got involved and gave his all."
Upon hearing this, King Jin's expression changed and his brows furrowed tightly.
He even sat up straight: "Are you saying that the person from the North is also involved?"
"Yes."
Lin Xuanru nodded.
His face was solemn: "Not only that, according to the news, a shocking battle between heaven and man was triggered that day."
"The battle between heaven and man?"
Prince Jin's pupils shrank slightly.
"One of the celestial beings is the leader of the White Lotus Sect. It is said that he had just broken through that day and entered the ranks of celestial beings. The other celestial being."
When Lin Xuanru said this, a hint of shock appeared in his eyes.
His throat was dry as he spoke, "This man's name is Xu Shu, styled Yuanzhi. He is a Confucian scholar under the command of the King of Zhenbei. The news that came in said that this man is an expert in both Confucianism and swordsmanship. He is a master of both Confucianism and swordsmanship. On that day, he only used two sword strikes to take down the leader of the White Lotus Sect. He was dubbed the Confucian Swordsman by the world."
"Confucian Sword Immortal?" King Jin was shocked.
He murmured in disbelief: "Is there really such a peerless person in the world?"
Confucianism, Taoism, and Kendo are all about heaven and man
"hiss"
At this moment, the generals in the tent.
They were also shocked by the news and took a deep breath in shock.
To everyone's shock.
Lin Xuanru continued, "Your Highness, there is one more thing. There are rumors that after the White Lotus Sect's remnants were destroyed, someone saw the Royal Guards moving a large amount of silver from their treasury. The silver piled up like a mountain, and the amount was difficult to estimate."
"what?"
After hearing this.
Prince Jin was completely upset.
His face suddenly turned pale: "In other words, the empress will no longer be short of money soon?"
Everyone knew that the Dawu Dynasty's treasury was in deficit.
This is also the reason why Prince Jin was blocked outside Chongli Prefecture for a full ten days.
Not being too impatient is one of the reasons.
after all.
The empress has no money, which means that Chongli Prefecture cannot have a steady supply of food and grass.
The imperial court could not afford to waste time, nor could it outlast the Prince of Jin.
Even if he couldn't take it by force.
It won't take long before Chongli Prefecture will collapse due to lack of food.
But now you tell me that the empress is no longer short of money?
As Prince Jin's face became increasingly ugly.
Lin Xuanru said helplessly: "Although this is just a rumor, the White Lotus Sect's means of making money are indeed terrifying. Even if this rumor is suspected of being exaggerated, the money and property looted from it is enough to support the empress for a while."
"Damn it!"
After hearing this, King Jin became furious.
Coughing violently
