"Returned!? Really returned!?"

In the court, at the political core of the most powerful dynasty in this world, a group of people holding the highest power of this empire were trembling, including the master of this empire... at least the nominal master.

Emperor Zhao Gou trembled as if he had late-stage Parkinson's disease, but no one laughed at him, and no one said anything about the monarch's appearance at this time, because except for a very few, almost all ministers were like this.

"What to do? What to do? Returned, returned at this time?" Zhao Gou said with a crying voice.

Only Zong Ze, the minister of the Song court, gave a roar: "Where is the Censor of the Palace!"

The ministers were shocked. Their eyes lit up, and they all looked at Zong Ze. Zhao Gou's eyes lit up, and he almost ran down from the dragon chair. He immediately said to Zong Ze repeatedly: "Ru Lin save me, Ru Lin save me!"

Zong Ze bowed with a blue face: "Your Majesty, don't panic. Immortal Wu never kills innocent people. We govern the country with all our heart, collect land, save disaster victims, and settle the world. Although Yang Zhewan and other old subordinates of the Immortal Island were assassinated in Yangzhou, this is also the work of rebels. We have a clear conscience, so why is it like this, why is it like this!"

The ministers lowered their heads, and everyone was scolding "idiot", "brain-dead" and other words in their hearts.

Zong Ze was naturally not afraid. He was safe and sound during the great purge. Who didn't know that he had a relationship with Wu Pifu... No, had a friendship.

Wu Pifu was angry, and they were all in danger. But this Zong Ze could at most change an emperor to assist. Now saying these cool words, and what "never kills innocent people", it was as if the Confucian scholars who cried at the beginning deserved to die...

Just then, a round of applause came from the hall. Everyone was shocked, and they lowered their heads and didn't dare to look or think anymore. With this applause, the few people in the field who looked up saw a person flying from far to near, like thunder across the sky, and arrived at the gate of the hall in the blink of an eye.

"Well said."

Wu Pifu clapped his hands lightly: "I am a person who speaks the most reason, not a person who kills indiscriminately. As long as you have reason, I will be the master for you if you have any grievances. I have also heard about the specific situation. It seems that there are rebels in Yangzhou and surrounding states, as well as some port cities, such as Quanzhou Port? Right?"

Emperor Zhao Gou's face turned pale and blue with fright. After hearing Wu Pifu's words, he finally had a little blood, and immediately shrieked: "Immortal, please listen, it is exactly so, it is exactly so. Those southern coastal states are all worthy of death, all worthy of death!"

Wu Pifu was too lazy to ignore Zhao Gou, just looked at Zong Ze: "What is the specific situation, tell me."

Zong Ze's face was a bit gloomy, but he still bowed immediately: "Mr. Wu, this matter is actually because Mr. Yang Zhewan is too radical. He personally presided over the major event of land reform, which should have been done slowly, but he was extremely radical. Just in the Tokyo Road, he killed more than a thousand big households, and dismissed and killed thousands of officials. And he actually cleaned up the national treasury and grain storage at this time. This is really, really..."

Wu Pifu said "oh": "So there are rebels in Tokyo Road?"

Zong Ze still wanted to continue to complain, but was interrupted by Wu Pifu. He couldn't say the next words immediately. He could only say sullenly: "That's not true. After all, the military equipment in Tokyo Road is strict, and there is the Bianliang Forbidden Army that can suppress it at any time, and Mr. Wu's prestige also makes the petty people dare not be arrogant, so naturally there is no rebellion. But what should the officials and big households in other states and other roads do?"

Wu Pifu thought: "That's right. I said several times that I would sweep the world, but because of this and that, it was delayed. If I killed too few, people in remote states wouldn't believe it, thinking it was just hearsay. Indeed, you are right, it is my problem, I killed too few."

Zong Ze was dumbfounded, and immediately said: "No, sir, I didn't mean that..."

Wu Pifu waved his hand: "No, you are right. I also inquired about some situations. Coming here is just to confirm that you didn't make trouble in this matter. Those coastal roads and states did collude with foreign extraordinary people, and local tyrants and officials colluded with each other, so they rebelled. This has nothing to do with you. Don't worry, I won't implicate you."

Many ministers breathed a sigh of relief at the same time. Everyone's voice was very small, but together they became a state of breathing in unison. Zhao Gou's face turned ruddy at a speed visible to the naked eye. He laughed loudly: "Immortal is wise, Immortal is wise! Since I heard the Immortal's teachings, I have been wholeheartedly for the people now. But any imperial decree that infringes on the interests of the working people, I now send them all to Mr. Yang Zhewan for decision. I will definitely not live up to the Immortal's teachings!"

From Wu Pifu's super-brain perception, Zhao Gou actually thought and did this, without any bad intentions, really treating himself as a human seal named Emperor, and really reading the ancient sages, especially Mencius, every day... This... is he going to become a model of a wise king?

As for the ministers in the hall, there are many things about men stealing and women whoring, and there are also things about swallowing the people's fat and cream, but there is really not a single thing that truly harms the people. And in terms of the amount of corruption and swallowing... at least in this Song Dynasty era, it is only slightly worse than being clean.

In this situation, Wu Pifu really couldn't start, so he nodded to Zhao Gou and the ministers in the hall, and then looked at Zong Ze: "Zong Ze, don't worry, I will go to the coast to kill a good time, absolutely kill all the rebellious officials, local tyrants, big merchants, and big households, and then kill all their backers, their descendants, and their paths. It will definitely not bring any sequelae to the imperial court."

Zong Ze was dumbfounded. After the surrounding ministers lost the worry of being killed, they were also dumbfounded at this time. They opened their mouths and wanted to ask, is killing everyone without sequelae?

Before they could speak, Wu Pifu turned and left the hall, and then the whole person rushed into the sky, and went thousands of meters away in the blink of an eye, throwing himself into his mansion.

"..., this." Zong Ze was already a bit confused. He shouted loudly: "Mr. Wu, Immortal Wu, this can't be done, this is all killed, it is really, it is really..."

Unfortunately, Wu Pifu couldn't "hear" it at this time, but some ministers said to the officials of the same faction beside them: "The Immortal's move... seems to be okay?"

The official next to him seemed to have some wisdom, and immediately answered with a smile: "Not only is it okay, if it can really be killed, it is not just as simple as no sequelae? It will directly extend our national life for at least a hundred years!"

"We... can have a fat year."

However, some officials had pale faces and began to tremble again.

Because their ancestral homes were exactly those coastal roads, and their sect members, descendants, and families had a lot to do with those rebels, and even... the rebels might have their families.

Wu Pifu naturally wouldn't care about these. He returned to the mansion and said a word to Huang Rong. Huang Rong naturally shouted to follow, and Zhao Fubao, although she also wanted to follow, but first, thinking that Wu Pifu was going to fight, she had a psychological fear of fighting, and second, she didn't dare to be presumptuous in front of Huang Rong, so she could only smile and lower her head.

Just like this, Wu Pifu clamped Huang Rong and rushed into the sky. Under the witness of everyone in Bianliang City, he really made a celestial being across the sky... Although there was no fairy spirit, there was a thunderous explosion in the air, and then a visible air ripple impacted the surroundings. Wu Pifu had already gone far, and this momentum was not much less than the so-called fairy posture.

At the same time, in Jiangdu City, Yangzhou, nearly 50,000 troops outside the city were setting up formations to bombard the city walls with catapults and god-arm bows, while there were only 10,000 troops defending the city walls in the city. From time to time, defending soldiers were injured and fell, and morale dropped again and again. There were already soldiers looking at the same ze around them with flickering eyes.

In the Jiangdu City Lord's Mansion, Qin Hui was walking anxiously, saying: "Why hasn't the reinforcements come yet? It's been ten days. Could it be that Mr. Hade has a personal grudge against Mr. Yang?"

Yang Zhewan was assassinated nearly ten days ago. Qin Hui immediately knew that something big was wrong, and immediately sent hundreds of riders to send an 800-mile urgent military situation to Tokyo Bianliang.

At this time, the Song Dynasty, Yang Zhewan presided over the land reform and tax reform of the entire Song Dynasty, including measuring land, checking the granaries, warehouses, land, taxes, official corruption, local tyrants, etc. of all roads and prefectures, while Hadeyev presided over the military reform of the Song Dynasty, including elite soldiers, training, military system, weapons, logistics, etc.

Relying on this, Yang Zhewan and Hadeyev had already established Level 3 shelters and both became Transcendents.

But this assassination came suddenly. The assassins gathered people from the Song Dynasty extraordinary world, as well as extraordinary people from the Great Food from the ocean and the more distant Great Qin, totaling more than 30 people. So even though Yang Zhewan was already a Transcendent and had army protection, he was still seriously injured. Although he didn't die, he fell into a coma.

Afterwards, the coastal states directly lifted the rebellion, formed armies of various roads, and claimed to clear the monarch's side and kill the demon (Wu Pifu). Jiangdu City was besieged five days ago, but the expected Hadeyev new army was still nowhere to be seen.

Qin Hui is a standard scholar of the Song Dynasty, a standard political creature. He naturally has no problem in government affairs, and looking at people and flattering superiors is his specialty. As for political standing, it is his master-level stunt. But... he can't fight!

Just when Qin Hui was getting more and more anxious, suddenly the sky in the distance became dark, with dark red thunder flashing. Even if it was far away, Qin Hui could vaguely hear wailing and groaning.

"It's over! Another blood sacrifice, the Transcendent is going to participate in the war!" Qin Hui was shocked, and immediately ran to the outside of the mansion to look up at the sky, the more he looked, the uglier his face became.

At the beginning, the 10,000 guards who protected him and Yang Zhewan were the new army trained by Hadeyev. They fought to the death and did not retreat. The morale was surprisingly high. Now only less than 4,000 remained, mixed with the original 10,000 troops of Jiangdu, barely guarding this Yangzhou capital.

And the one who killed thousands of new troops at that time was the local extraordinary people of the Great Song, and the extraordinary people from overseas joined forces to carry out a blood sacrifice, which broke the military spirit and killed the army. Seeing that Jiangdu was already crumbling, I didn't expect these extraordinary people to have another blood sacrifice...

Could it be that heaven wants to destroy my Qin Hui!?

It was not easy to get on the Immortal, is it that he has no chance to live forever and ascend to the Immortal Realm??

Just when Qin Hui was desperate in his heart, suddenly an air ripple exploded in the sky, and he saw a figure rushing towards the distant dark thunder area.

Before he could see it clearly, a huge tiger roar came from the distant dark thunder area. The dark clouds and dark thunder covering half of the sky exploded violently, and a white energy like a sky pillar rushed into the sky, straight through the nine heavens.

Qin Hui suddenly smiled.

The Immortal is here!!
