I'm afraid of pain, so I put all my defense into it.

The first thing Le Wang did when he returned to the mansion was to send someone to kill the eighth-rank official who bought Su Mei'er that day.

After three years of military service, he was full of hostility. He only wanted to kill the person who bought Su Mei'er. His soldiers were loyal and took the head of the eighth-rank official that night.

For the first time, he felt the importance of holding power.

On the second day, the prime minister invited him.

Le Wang was a little uneasy. Su Mei'er was in the prime minister's mansion. Would they meet today?

The prime minister's mansion was very large. Le Wang searched around without leaving any trace, but did not find the familiar figure.

There is no good wine, and there is no good banquet.

At the wine table, the prime minister directly threw out an olive branch. In the court, the struggle between factions was more dangerous and fierce than on the battlefield. Every official spared no effort to fight against the dissidents.

To be an official in the court, you must stand on the side, no matter who you are.

The prime minister promised that as long as Lewang was willing to join his faction, everything would go smoothly in the future.

After a long silence, Lewang asked: "Is there anyone in the court who has never stood for a team?"

The prime minister took a sip of tea and said lightly: "Only the current emperor."

Lewang refused. He still remembered what the young master said. He wanted to live his own life.

Two days later, the court and the public were shaken. The news of Zhenyuan Hou's rebellion spread like wildfire. The emperor sent people to search Zhenyuan Hou's mansion and found a letter of rebellion. Zhenyuan Hou wanted to assassinate the emperor in front of the palace. Three thousand soldiers were going to set off a bloody storm in the capital.

Zhenyuan Hou was taken to the sky prison and waited for his fate.

Three thousand soldiers were all executed.

Looking at the faint smile on the prime minister's lips, Lewang suddenly understood why the young master ran away that day. He could not live his own life as an official in the court.

Except for the emperor, everyone was hiding their true selves.

In the prison, Lewang was whipped, and the jailer tortured him severely, asking Lewang to confess the unfounded accomplice. Lewang shook his head, saying that if you want to accuse someone, you can always find a pretext.

During this period, the emperor came several times, with a gloomy face, completely missing the harmony and smile of the past.

There was no friendship between the monarch and his subjects.

The next year.

The neighboring country invaded, with strong soldiers and horses, and no one in the court dared to fight. The enemy was at its peak, and they did not want to confront it head-on and die in vain.

The prime minister advised: "Let Zhenyuan Hou lead the death squad to charge."

The emperor: "Approved!"

Lewang was taken out of the prison and saw the light of day again. At this moment, he just wanted to see Su Meier again.

The prime minister read the imperial edict, but Lewang didn't listen to a word. At the end, he asked, "Four years ago, did the prime minister buy a girl named Su Meier?"

"Yes."

"Where is she?"

"She was not very obedient and rushed to the military prostitute. If you return to the barracks, you may see her."

Lewang's face was pale. After three years of military service, he knew very well what the fate of military prostitutes was.

"Accept the edict. If you can survive this time, think about other things."

The prime minister sneered, threw down the imperial edict, and left.

The scene changed.

Lewang led 30,000 dead soldiers to fight against the invading army in the scorching heat of summer.

Lewang looked indifferent. He used a strategy to lead the enemy army into a valley, commanded the soldiers to pour wine and set it on fire.

The fire soared into the sky, and the whole sky was burned red. The mountains and grass were not spared, and all combustible items were burned to ashes.

The enemy army was defeated and wanted to evacuate. Le Wang roared and led the army to guard the entrance and exit of the valley, blocking the enemy army in it. The two sides fought frantically, and the battle was heavy in casualties.

The fire burned for three days, and no soldier survived.

Le Wang lay on the ground, his body covered with knife wounds and burns, looking at the old, weak and disabled around him and said: "We survived, triumphant!"

The court was trembling, 30,000 troops annihilated hundreds of thousands of troops, Le Wang's reputation was famous, and for a while, the reputation of Zhenyuan Hou spread throughout the court and the public.

At the same time, the news that the prime minister intended to rebel spread like wildfire. The emperor copied the prime minister's mansion, and there was also a secret letter of intention to rebellion, plus a secret letter blaming Zhenyuan Hou.

The prime minister crawled on the ground, his eyes were dull, he couldn't figure out what was going on.

Until he looked at the letter in the emperor's hand, his pupils suddenly shrank, this scene, how similar.

"Your Majesty, this is the plan of the Marquis of Zhenyuan. This person has evil intentions and intends to frame me. I hope your Majesty will see clearly!"

The emperor's face was cold and he spat out one word: "Behead!"

In just two years, two officials were investigated for treason. All of this was done by the prime minister. This time, the emperor did not want to ask about any accomplices and directly beheaded them.

The prime minister's family of more than 40 people were all beheaded.

The Marquis of Zhenyuan returned to the court and was granted the title of King Xiaoyao. He could raise 10,000 soldiers and armor and hold the first rank.

"Thank you for your grace!"

Liao Wang knelt respectfully, accepted the order and thanked him. A smile appeared on his face unconsciously. From this moment on, he did not need toIt's time to take sides.

In the Xiaoyao Palace, the door was trampled, and there was an endless stream of people coming and going to give gifts and build relationships. Lewang accepted all the gifts, no matter what they were.

At the same time, he spread the news to find a woman named Su Mei'er. If they could find her, they would be rewarded.

All the officials were shocked. If they could find the woman of Xiaoyao King, their careers would be smooth.

...

Three years passed quickly. Xiaoyao King's power was deep-rooted. Even the emperor had to give him some face, but he still didn't find Su Mei'er.

His power was still not big enough, and the scope of his influence was only that small piece of land. Although all the officials also took some actions, they didn't care about this matter after all. It was just a temporary enthusiasm. Three years and three years, Su Mei'er might drift to a farther place.

In the court, Lewang asked for leave to return home, and the emperor agreed.

King Xiaoyao was not interested in women, nor did he covet gold and silver. In the past few years in the court, he had almost no desires except to find Su Meier. Now that he wanted to return home, he naturally agreed.

But he forgot that he had ordered the execution of all the members of the City Lord's Mansion and the extermination of all nine clans several years ago.

Today, the City Lord's Mansion is just a ruin.

These things, Liao Wang naturally knew, he just felt that after so many years, he should go back to his hometown.

Relying on memory, he erected a monument for dozens of people in the City Lord's Mansion.

When erecting the last monument, Liao Wang wrote his own name.

"Sir, if you hadn't left that day, everything would be different now, but I don't blame you. You have your own ideas, and I just want to find Su Mei'er."

"The King of Xiaoyao, who holds the first rank, is admired by thousands of people, but I know that this title is useless. I want to mobilize the people of the world to find Su Mei'er's whereabouts, whether alive or dead."

"If I were the king, I would be able to achieve what I want!"

Liao Wang stood up, with a terrifying gleam in his eyes.

Things never happen more than three times, this time, it was a real rebellion.

The King of Xiaoyao had a fiefdom of thousands of miles and raised more than 30,000 elite soldiers. Compared with the hundreds of thousands of troops of the court, it was nothing, but in the capital, it was an unstoppable force.

The hall was full of singing and dancing, and all the officials were in high spirits, completely unaware that the crisis had come.

When blood splattered three feet in the imperial city and Liao Wang's knife was on the emperor's neck, they woke up. This time, the King of Xiaoyao really rebelled.
