The road to Jianghu started from the martial arts hall

When Tie Wuxin heard the other party's question, he stepped forward and spoke solemnly.

"As soon as I received the news, I ordered the secret detectives in Sichuan, Shu and Dongyu to investigate, but no unusual movements have been found so far!"

It's no wonder they are so nervous. Although they have been fighting with the King of Shu, the King of Zhao, and Dongzhou for three years, the four parties have maintained a tacit understanding.

It was just large armies colliding, and the Zhenwu Realm was not allowed to participate too much in the battlefield.

Otherwise, with the ability of the humanoid disaster in the Zhenwu realm, no matter how many soldiers come, they will all be cannon fodder.

The main reason is that they don't want the fight to be too intense, causing too many casualties among the Zhenwu Realm masters.

After all, there is the Prince of Yue's Palace recuperating nearby. Although the Jiangnan side has kept its troops on hold, they dare not forget it, for fear that they will suffer losses and the Prince of Yue's Palace will take advantage of it.

However, in the battle of the Burial Valley, the imperial court took the lead in breaking this tacit understanding.

If the plan had been successful, not only would it have eliminated Fang Xun and Shangguan Wudi, the two biggest threats, but it would also have wiped out the entire Dongzhou Zhenwu army, with Dongyu and Sichuan also suffering heavy losses.

By then, the balance of power among all parties will undergo an earth-shaking change. The imperial court, Confucianism and the four major families combined will become the strongest party far surpassing all other parties, and the revival of Daxuan is just around the corner!

But now, not only did the plan fail, but thirteen Zhenwu land immortals were also killed. At once, the number of Zhenwu masters was reduced by nearly half, and the balance of power between the parties was completely broken.

What makes them even more nervous is that Taoism and Buddhism will probably not swallow this humiliation, and the Prince of Yue's Palace, which has been gathering strength for a long time, may also take advantage of the situation.

It can be said that Daxuan has reached the most critical moment in history.

Of course, worse news is about to come.

"Your Majesty, an urgent report from the Huaizhou Su family--"

As they cried out in panic, everyone's expression changed slightly.

Something happened to the Su family again?

Then a messenger hurried into the hall, not caring about etiquette and anxiously shouting, "Your Majesty, gentlemen, a quarter of an hour ago, the Su family's magic weapon sent a message that the bandits have already reached Shangyuan City!"

Everyone's face turned pale with anger, and Wan Pingchuan hurriedly asked, "What's going on with the Su family now?"

The messenger replied with a pale face: "This is the only message, and there will be no more news after that!"

quiet!
Very quiet!

In an instant, the palace hall became eerily quiet, and the sound of a needle hanging on the ground could be clearly heard.

After a long while, Tie Wuxin said with difficulty: "I'm afraid the Su family is finished."

The worst news is that no news is sent back. Since the people are gone, naturally there is no way to send back any news.

Wei Qingping, who was standing not far from him, suddenly came to his senses and spoke quickly.

"Your Majesty, we need to contact the other three families to evacuate as soon as possible and gather together in Luo'an to prevent Fang Xun and Shangguan Wudi, the two villains, from defeating them one by one!!!"

Wan Pingchuan, who was in a trance, was also startled by this sound and broke into a cold sweat. He immediately woke up as if from a dream and gave orders to the messenger.

"Yes, yes, yes, send a letter to the other three companies immediately and evacuate as soon as possible!!!"

After receiving the order, the herald ran wildly in the hall and rushed out at high speed. At this time, no one cared about his impoliteness. Everyone was worried.

As the saying goes, good fortune never comes alone, and misfortune never comes alone. As soon as the herald left the hall, another burst of shrill shouts came from outside the hall. "Your Majesty, I am guilty, guilty!!!"

Everyone's faces changed drastically again, but they were expressions of joy. They immediately recognized that the voice outside was Lu Delin's. The other party was not dead yet!
Immediately, Lu Delin rushed into the hall covered in blood, and no one paid attention to his miserable appearance.

It was a great thing for them that they had one more living Zhenwu master.

But before Wan Pingchuan could open his mouth to ask about their well-being, Lu Delin's words made everyone's face change for the third time.

Lu Delin knelt down in front of Wan Pingchuan with a thud, and pounded his head against the ground as hard as if pounding garlic.

dong dong dong-

"Your Majesty, I am guilty. Fang Xun is a vicious villain. He spared me a chance to live in order to frame Your Majesty and the headmaster for the intention of 'cutting down mountains and destroying temples, and trampling the rivers and lakes'!"

All the ministers in the hall were immediately shocked speechless, and Wan Pingchuan also had a horrified look on his face and stood up directly from the dragon throne.

"Asshole! When did I ever say these eight words?!"

He dare not take the blame for this, otherwise Daxuan will really have no power to recover.

If it comes to "cutting down mountains and destroying temples, and riding horses across the rivers and lakes", does Wan Pingchuan want to do that?

He dreamed of it, and not only him, but all the emperors of Daxuan and every king in the past and present dynasties had this dream.

Which king does not want all the land under heaven to belong to him, and all the people in the world to be his subjects?

But thinking and saying are two different things. Even when the imperial court was at its most powerful, the emperor did not dare to actually say these eight things publicly, let alone do it.

Isn't it because once these eight words are uttered, all the martial arts sects, big and small, will be completely pushed to the opposite side, leaving no room for maneuver!

The various sects in the martial arts world seem to be in disarray, but apart from other things, the combined forces of all the thirty-six sects except for those families are enough to make the emperor worried.

Even with the power of the imperial court, they dared not face its sharp edge directly, and could only find ways to divide this force first and then defeat it one by one.

Wan Pingchuan certainly didn't dare to take the blame. The imperial court's strength had already fallen to the bottom, and it could no longer withstand all the internal and external troubles.

Wei Qingping, who was sitting below, suddenly realized something, looked at Lu Delin with a cold gaze, and shouted sternly.

"You are speaking without restraint again, aren't you? Tell me, have you gotten carried away again and taken the initiative to misrepresent the emperor's will, saying something you shouldn't have said and letting Fang Xun hear it?"

The others reacted instantly and looked at Lu Delin with cold eyes.

What Wei Qingping said is not impossible. Three years ago, Lu Delin had a history of forcing the emperor to announce an imperial decree in the Caixia Sect!
That time, Fang Xun directly tore up the imperial edict. Although it damaged the reputation of the court, at least he got a way out.

But this time, Lu Delin was not so lucky, because Fang Xun wanted to take advantage of the situation again.

He understood this in his heart, and although he felt a little frightened when facing the cold gazes of the crowd, he still spoke in a sonorous and powerful voice.

"Your Majesty, I know that I am guilty of an unforgivable crime, but I would rather bear your scolding and keep my life alive for your Majesty, so that the evil plot of the thief cannot succeed!"

The eyes of the others were getting colder and colder, and Wan Pingchuan was so angry that he laughed. They all felt that this old man was shameless to a certain extent.

"In other words, the eight words 'cut down mountains and destroy temples, and ride horses across the rivers and lakes' came from your mouth. Are you doing this for my own good?!" (End of this chapter)
