King Luo still didn’t hold this fantasy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Otherwise, he wouldn’t have only granted Zhao Xing the temporary position of 'Third-Level Inspection Envoy of the Five Prefectures of Pinghai'.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Controlling civil and military officials below Rank 3 meant that King Luo thought in his heart that Zhao Xing couldn’t handle high-rank affairs yet.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But now he was suddenly told: Zhao Xing killed the Prince of Tianxia.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>How could King Luo not be shocked?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Good, I know.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Keep the original records well and archive them; I will send someone to collect them later.

Then go argue with King Luo!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>King Luo’s move was to provide a bottom line for Zhao Xing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>King Luo’s words successfully aroused the attention of King Xin and King Anning.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Who killed the Prince of Tianxia? The Prefect of Mingyue?\" King Xin, Liu Yong, couldn’t help but ask curiously. \"I don’t remember the Prefect of Mingyue also serving as the Military Boundary Supervisor.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>King Xin was talking about the Mingyue Prefecture.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Prefect of Mingyue, Ye Yukong, was not the Prefect. He was the Dean of the Mingyue Military Academy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was just that the older generation like King Xin, Liu Yong, and King Anning, Ji Anning, were used to calling Ye Yukong the Prefect of Mingyue.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Because the Prince of Tianxia’s six eastern counties bordered Mingyue Prefecture.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So both of them thought it was the Prefect of Mingyue, Ye Yukong, who beheaded the Prince of Tianxia.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This thought was also very reasonable, because Ye Yukong was a Rank 3 consummate sword expert, and he had become famous many years earlier than the Prince of Tianxia.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His self-created Mingyue Sword Technique and Moon Shadow Body Technique were both top-tier methods.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Not him.\" King Luo shook his head. \"It was Zhao Xing.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Who?!\" King Xin, Liu Yong, was stunned. He felt he had misheard and confirmed it again. \"Is, is it that Zhao Xing?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Don’t tell me it’s Liu Tianning’s disciple, Zhao Xing.\" King Anning also widened his eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hmm, it’s him.\" King Luo nodded. \"To be honest, I don’t dare to believe it either, but I assume he wouldn’t dare to lie to me about this.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"This, how is this possible?!\" King Xin was stunned.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His main impression of Zhao Xing was still stuck in the Longting Ancient Land quota competition.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At that time, Zhao Xing was only Rank 5.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The practice of the Derivative God Technique, the learning of top-tier spells, King Xin didn’t know any of these.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But that was only in the 30th year of the Jingxin Calendar.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Only five years had passed, and Zhao Xing had actually beheaded a Rank 3?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Prince of Tianxia was not some Rank 3 flower-vase!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Actually it was him, it seems—\" King Anning quickly accepted this information.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As a Prince of the Shangyu Office, he knew more than King Xin, because he was the one in charge of intelligence.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It’s what, say it.\" King Xin, Liu Yong, said anxiously.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Confidential.\" King Anning smiled, \"I can’t tell you.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>King Xin, Liu Yong, was so angry that his beard blew and his eyes widened, but he was helpless.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Didn’t expect it, only five years.\" King Anning sighed somewhat, \"His growth speed is too fast, I’m afraid he has achieved great things there.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hmm.\" King Luo nodded and said, \"He won’t say, but I think it should be quite astonishing.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>King Xin:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Liu Yong was scratched by these two riddle-makers, wishing he could grab King Luo and King Anning by the neck and ask clearly!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, when he took office as the Governing King, it was of the same nature as King Lingde, a scapegoat mascot.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That is to say, at this time, he had more real power, but it was still far less than King Luo and King Anning.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You two bastards, if you can’t say it, don’t play riddles in front of me, just transmit the voice!\" King Xin flicked his sleeves and cursed as he retreated.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hahahaha, he’s even anxious.\" King Anning grinned.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>King Luo also smiled, but there was no other way; King Xin’s strength and status were a bit lacking.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Like King Tianyan pulling Zhao Xing to the Star Palace to practice the Derivative God Technique, he and King Anning had the right to know, but King Xin couldn’t.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They also couldn’t tell King Xin, because the detailed situation, King Tianyan hadn’t told the two of them either; clearly, this confidentiality level had already reached the point where even the Governing Kings couldn’t easily disclose it to each other.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Need to send someone to Tianhe Prefecture.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Together, I also need to send the King’s order.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>King Anning and King Luo arranged it quickly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Above Tianxia County, Zhao Xing closed the Earth Mirror on the Primordial Warship.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this time, the sky was still black.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But on the ground, it was already lit with fire.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Gan, Yao Yuanchun, Zou Yong, and Ouyang Zhen led people to quickly clear out the rebel generals.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mainly officials of Rank 5 and Rank 4.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Because Zhao Xing had already killed a wave before.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The fire and chaos only lasted for less than two hours before it was completely calm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this time, the sky hadn’t even brightened yet.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Prince of Tianxia’s Mansion, including the county city and three garrison counties (military towns), was completely pacified.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Lord Zhao, General Li asks you to move to the Prince’s Mansion.\" Li Gan sent someone to fly into the sky to report.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hmm.\" Zhao Xing quickly took five warships and flew down.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As for the other warships, they remained at high altitude on alert.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Swish~\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhao Xing’s main body appeared at the entrance of the Prince of Tianxia’s Mansion.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this time, Li Gan was waiting outside the Prince’s Mansion with his personal guards.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"My Lord, there were a total of eight hundred and ninety-five rebel soldiers in the Prince’s Mansion, and they have all been beheaded.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The Prince of Tianxia’s family members and servants, totaling five thousand four hundred and thirty-two, have all been apprehended.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Any casualties in the city guard?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Thirteen dead, sixty-six injured.\" Li Gan reported, \"This subordinate is incompetent.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The mechanism array in the Prince’s Mansion is strict, so this is not your fault.\" Zhao Xing said, \"When we return this time, report to the lords in the prefecture city; your city guard will definitely be a great meritorious deed.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Thank you, my Lord.\" Li Gan, kneeling on one knee, looked at Zhao Xing with incomparable admiration.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He, a small city guard general, had never thought that one day he could easily kill his way into the mansion of a Prince.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was enough for him and his city guard brothers to brag about for a lifetime.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Five thousand family members, why so many?\" Zhao Xing looked at the list.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The rebel gathered all three of his clans to Tianxia County.\" Li Gan said, \"This subordinate guesses that he had long since planned to rebel.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"No resistance?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"There was, but not much.\" Li Gan said, \"It was Lord Yao who gave the order to arrest them.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this time, Yao Yuanchun also walked out of the mansion.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He cupped his hands toward Zhao Xing and explained why he arrested them instead of killing them: \"The Prince of Tianxia’s sons were all killed, because they were all willing to rebel.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Their grandsons, a small half were killed, and the remaining half held the Death-Exemption Pill Book and knelt on the ground, begging for their lives.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The reason there are so many people is mainly because of the great-grandsons, the fourth and fifth-generation descendants, and the female family members.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The clansmen shouted that they were wronged, saying they were coerced by the Prince of Tianxia, the old ancestor.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"How to rule, please decide, my Lord.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yao Yuanchun and Li Gan didn’t dare to kill randomly, because these people didn’t resist and took out the Death-Exemption Pill Book to kneel and surrender.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What to do, Zhao Xing had to decide.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhao Xing handed the list to Li Gan and smiled: \"The Death-Exemption Pill Book does not exempt one from the crime of treason. The Prince of Tianxia rebelled, and his clan should be executed.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"He saved us trouble by gathering all three clans together.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Then, my Lord, do you mean to kill them now?\" Li Gan asked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"According to the process, they must be escorted back to the prefecture city, and then we must request the imperial court to issue an edict to behead them on a chosen day. However, we don’t have that much time to delay now.\" Zhao Xing said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Lord Yao, trouble you to invite the Three Judicial Gods to witness. Li Gan, you open the Mirage Pearl and Echo Snail to record and archive.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"In short, behead these three clans first. As for whether the imperial court wants to behead five or nine clans later, leave that to the Ministry of Justice to catch people.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhao Xing didn’t have that much leisure to go through those cumbersome processes. In short, exterminating three clans for rebellion is the bottom line, so beheading them is definitely not wrong.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now let’s just do a simplified process.
