Chapter 908
"I didn't expect this assassin to have such an ability, able to derive mana of two attributes." Seeing this scene, the Emperor Taichu also showed a look of surprise and uncertainty, and even a look of appreciation crossed his eyes.

After all, he is the Son of Heaven, and he thinks about the problem from a different angle than Han Qing and others. Han Qing and the others consider it from the perspective of whether they can defeat the man, while the Emperor of Taichu considers it from the perspective of whether he is loyal to him. If the robed man is not an assassin, and if there is no unresolvable grievance with the royal family, then the emperor in the early days will definitely try to get him under his command.

"I don't know who this person is loyal to, but he dares to assassinate me. This person has such a talent, and the background of the person he is loyal to must not be simple. In the imperial city, the only people with deep background are Mo Chengxiang and Liu Wang. The Shangguan family and the Qian family, this guy was able to break into the palace alone, and even went directly to the vicinity of the upper study room. He is very familiar with the layout of the palace. It's King Liu, Prime Minister Mo, and the Qian family, these three families are the most likely to become the object of this guy's allegiance." The Emperor Taichu's eyes flickered, secretly analyzing the pros and cons.

At this time, the sea of ​​fire in the upper study room had been extinguished by Prime Minister Mo and the Minister of Rites. Although there were a lot of burned things in the upper study room, as long as the emperor was fine, everyone would not take this loss to heart at all. When he was outside the study room, Prime Minister Mo suddenly walked up to the Emperor Taichu and said, "Your Majesty, this place is not safe. Please move to another place to avoid being hurt by this thief."

A trace of anger flashed across the face of the emperor in the early days, and he said: "How unreasonable! I am the lord of the world, and this is my palace. How can I be scared away by an assassin?"

"But Your Majesty..." Prime Minister Mo said in embarrassment with a look of embarrassment on his face.

The Emperor Taichu waved his hand and said: "Okay, I appreciate the prime minister's kindness. I will come here today to see whether my Imperial Forest Army is stronger or this assassin is stronger. If my Imperial Forest Army really loses to that assassin, this one There is no need for the Imperial Forest Army to exist anymore, and Prime Minister Mo suggested that I rectify the Imperial Forest Army a few months ago, so I will see how the Imperial Forest Army's performance is this time, if the results are really bad, I will have to consider Prime Minister Mo's suggestion."

When Prime Minister Mo heard this, his eyes lit up immediately, and a trace of excitement flashed across his eyes.

The Imperial Forest Army is the force that guards the imperial palace. As the saying goes, power grows out of the barrel of a gun. People in the world think that the country belongs to the people. As long as the people are loyal to the emperor, the country will be forged with iron and will never be shaken. However, the real situation is not the case at all. The real power always comes from soldiers. How many soldiers you have means how much power you have. How much fighting power you have in your hands means how much power you have. There is only an unbeatable iron army, let alone what is the situation of this iron army, let's just talk about Prime Minister Mo at this time.

Then Prime Minister Mo knew very well that in order to really control the court situation, in addition to crowding out colleagues who disagree with his own political views, he must also have an iron army in his hands. The Mo family is just the prime minister's family and has absolutely no right to train and raise troops. However, if the Mo family can place their own people in the imperial forest army, then doesn't that mean that the Mo family has also cultivated their own troops in the capital since then?
The Imperial Forest Army is ready-made. As long as people from the Mo family can be inserted in, then Prime Minister Mo is confident that he will empty the entire army and make this army truly belong to his Mo family. Therefore, Prime Minister Mo will keep suggesting to rectify the Imperial Forest Army. , because once the rectification starts, it means that someone will be kicked out of the Imperial Forest Army. At that time, wouldn't it be easy for the Mo family to get in?

It was precisely because Prime Minister Mo saw a glimmer of hope, a hope that he could place his own people in the Imperial Forest Army, that's why he showed excitement and said secretly: "Hey, if His Majesty really intends to rectify the Imperial Forest Army, then the truth will be revealed. The power in the imperial court will definitely increase again, hehe, by then, it will be truly under one person and above ten thousand people!"

The Emperor Taichu standing aside seemed to be aware of Prime Minister Mo's thoughts, and glanced at Prime Minister Mo calmly. However, to the emperor's disappointment, he did not see what he wanted to see from Prime Minister Mo's face at all. The latter has been ups and downs in the officialdom for decades, and has already learned to hide his emotions and anger, so how could the emperor see his intentions?
While the two were secretly discussing whether to rectify the imperial forest army, Zhou Yuanai had already brought his own people to surround the man in the Confucian robe on the roof. The man's expression didn't change at all, he looked at the scene calmly, raised his eyebrows slightly, and said with disdain: "It's a joke that these few imperial guards want to settle me. Looking at the whole Ouchi, except Besides that old temptress, who is my opponent of Master Zhenyun?"

For these monks in Wangcheng, the identity of the man is very strange, and this is the first time they have seen him. However, if the monks near the North Sea of ​​the Taichu Kingdom saw this man, they would recognize him on the spot. This man is the Lord of the North Sea. , a monk with the Taoist name Zhenyun.

The North Sea is a piece of sea in the country of Taichu, which is connected to the country of Shanlei. The sea is filled with thick fog all the year round. It is said that Master Zhenyun's gymnasium is located in the deepest part of the thick fog. However, even today, there is no one at all. Having entered the depths of the dense fog, no one knows exactly where Master Zhenyun's cave is.

However, even if the whereabouts of the Zhenyun Shangren Hall is unknown, the terrifying strength has already resounded through the North Sea at this time. In such a land, there are many vicious and vicious monks, so how can Master Zhenyun have no strength if he can stand as firmly as Mount Tai on such a land?
And what kind of monks are these imperial guards present, the highest is no question, even the ordinary Master Zhenyun has seen several of them, how can the imperial guards of this level be his opponent Zhenyun?
"This seat has not killed for many years. This time, if it is not because of someone who cannot refuse, this seat will not leave Beihai and come to your country of Taichu to assassinate. My seat is practicing the way to rule the cycle of reincarnation. What you are cultivating is just the small way of seeking Nirvana, how can you be the opponent of this seat?" Zhenyun smiled, and while speaking, he saw flames appearing under his feet, surging like a cloud of fire, covering the sky. Going up to the sky above the study room, I saw that Zhenyun suddenly flicked his fingers, and a wisp of two-color mana bloomed in his hand. The fire cloud immediately trembled, and with a cry, a fire beast rushed out of it, and rushed towards the Zhou Yuanai and the Imperial Forest Army on the ground.

"My mother, run!" Seeing the house-sized fire beast rushing towards him, the guards on the ground were so frightened that they peed their pants, and a dozen guards threw away their weapons on the spot, and said straight Deserters.

Seeing this scene, the Emperor Taichu in the study room turned dark on the spot, and said viciously, "Is this my soldier? Is this the heavenly army protecting me?"

Prime Minister Mo on the side didn't speak, but his heart was already full of laughter. He thought to himself, the Imperial Forest Army is such a coward, it seems that this time the emperor's rectification of the Imperial Forest Army is a firm matter, but I don't know if there is a chance to drive Shangguan Jiecheng out of the Imperial Forest Army. This guy is only loyal to the emperor. With him around, it would be a bit difficult to control the Imperial Forest Army.

Originally, the emperor in the early days had high hopes for the Imperial Forest Army. After all, the Imperial Forest Army was called the Heavenly Army. The imperial court had hundreds of thousands of soldiers and horses, and the Imperial Forest Army received the best treatment. However, it was unexpected that the best-paid Imperial Forest Army had such low combat effectiveness , Hundreds of thousands of border guards, some soldiers don't even have a pair of cotton shoes that can keep out the cold, and they can still fight with You Longguo's troops to escape death. The Imperial Forest Army enjoys the best treatment, but they run away when they see danger , so timid, how can they be worthy of the word "Tianjun"?

"It seems that the Royal Forest Army cannot be reorganized. Prime Minister, you should discuss with the Minister of the Ministry of War to see how to reorganize this army of mine. This army is to maintain the safety of the imperial city. How to protect the safety of the royal family?" The Emperor Taichu said expressionlessly, already extremely disappointed with the Imperial Forest Army.

"Your Majesty, don't worry. With the intervention of Wei Chen and the Minister of War, we can guarantee that the combat effectiveness of the Imperial Forest Army will be raised to a level comparable to that of the Black Dragon Guard within a month or so." Prime Minister Mo said respectfully.

People in the court of the Taichu Kingdom knew the name of the Black Dragon Guard very well. After all, the Youlong Kingdom was also an old opponent of the Taichu Kingdom. How could they know nothing about the famous Black Dragon Guard in the Youlong Kingdom? From the point of view of the Black Dragon Guard, the Imperial Forest Army of the Taichu Kingdom is indeed a bit too bad. They actually chose to run away when they saw danger, completely forgetting their accusations, and they were simply embarrassing the entire Taichu Kingdom.

At this time, Master Zhenyun, who was standing on the roof, was surprised when he saw this scene. He really didn't expect that just after he made a move, he saw dozens of imperial guards deserting in fright. The imperial guards who came down also showed that everyone was in danger, and they didn't dare to get close to Master Zhenyun at all.

"This is the Imperial Forest Army of your Taichu Kingdom? It really opened my eyes! Such a coward, how can he have the qualifications to defend the safety of the imperial city?" Master Zhenyun sneered, his face was full of sarcasm.

Hearing Master Zhenyun's words, the faces of Shangguan Jiecheng and Zhou Yuanai on the ground turned gloomy at the same time.

That Zhou Yuanai let out a cold snort, and said, "Your Excellency, do you think that these cowards are the only ones in the Imperial Forest Army? Hmph, no matter what your cultivation level or background is, today you are going to assassinate me in my imperial city." I can't go anymore!"

"Very good!" Venerable Zhenyun nodded, and said calmly, "I want to see, how did you guys take down me today? I'm all over the North Sea, how could anyone dare to talk to me like this? Boy, you are just a nobody in Taichu Kingdom, it is a big joke to try to win this seat!"

Zhou Yuanai didn't say a word, her face was as gloomy as water, she just snorted when she heard Master Zhenyun's words, and then she saw a mana burst out from Zhou Yuanai's body, quickly spreading in the sky and the earth .

However, just as Zhou Yuanai spread out his mana, the fire beast on the ground suddenly raised its paw, and with a bang, it slapped Zhou Yuanai with its paw, and directly patted the mana that Zhou Yuanai had just bloomed. scattered.

"Do you still want to challenge me now?" Venerable Zhenyun said expressionlessly: "My goal today is only your emperor. If you don't want to live, you can come and challenge me. within, immediately disappear from the eyes of this seat, otherwise, die!"
