Chapter 871: Turning Against (13800 Supplement)

"The mountain rain is about to come..."

On the day of the imperial examination, dark clouds gathered, and a fine, misty rain fell.

Aaron coughed again and pushed open the courtyard gate, only to see a figure kneeling in the yard.

Beneath the misty rain, the figure's slender curves were revealed.

It was none other than Taiyin Daoren!

"Teacher..."

Taiyin Daoren looked up, water droplets hanging from her brows, making her appear even more sorrowfully beautiful.

Boom!

Inside the State Duke's mansion.

If no one listens to you, you are worth nothing!

But even as he fell, he clutched a document in his hands tightly, not letting it touch the ground: "Reporting to Your Majesty, the Grand Princess of Yangxin Temple has sent a message via Daoism... I fear the matter has been leaked!"

But the next instant, his long-standing Confucian cultivation of nourishing his spirit, along with his teacher's final words before death, allowed Zhang Jushi to steady himself, and he immediately said: "Your Majesty, this matter brooks no delay. We must issue orders immediately to have Elder Ming and Elder Fang mobilize!"

Many generals walked out of the commander's tent, and then someone let out a miserable cry.

So-called power is actually a very subtle thing; if someone listens to you, you have power.

A Daoist official came forward and handed a Bamboo Tube to Si Yunming.

Zhang Jushi immediately said: "The arrow is on the string, it must be fired... Given Xulingzi's personality, does Your Majesty really think this can end well?"

Although the many generals did not know what to think in their hearts, they all accepted the order in unison.

Even though Si Yunming was a bigwig in the military, he could only command dozens or hundreds of Colonels and generals.

Outside the camp, thousands of people stood in dense rows; judging by their attire, they were all Team Leaders, squad leaders, and the like.

Aaron waved his hand, looked at Xiao Zi, and pointed a finger.

"The Dao Lord has ordered: execute them all without exception!"

A noble Colonel saw this scene and, seemingly recognizing an acquaintance, went up to reprimand them.

Although he could investigate the ancestors of high-ranking generals back eighteen generations, he felt powerless when the standard was lowered to Team Leaders, or even lowly squad leaders and section leaders.

In the past, no one could organize all these grassroots officers; it was completely unrealistic!

But now, this scene had truly appeared!

Apart from Xulingzi's sorcery back then, no one could have achieved this!

"I... have lost!"

At this moment, flashes of Electric lightning fell one after another, illuminating the faces of the two women until they looked as ferocious as vengeful ghosts!

This Human Emperor, at this moment, looked like nothing more than a pale-faced thirty-year-old man; where was there any of an Emperor's majesty?

"What has happened?"

"Yes!"

"It's over..."

"Head of the Family..."

Thump, thump!

"What?"

Just at this moment, a bolt of lightning fell, leaving the world deathly white.

Crack!

The sound of drums suddenly erupted.

As for the people below, these Team Leaders, squad leaders, and section leaders were still needed to issue orders, and because they lived and interacted with them more often, their Influence was also not to be underestimated.

What's more, the military academy was proposed by that person back then; what background or resume couldn't be forged?

And when Aaron added sand, he always did it with at least half sand and half water!

Naval camp.

Outside the hall, the rain poured down like a waterfall, and the world turned white in an instant.

Si Yunming's heart skipped a beat; he walked outside the commander's tent and suddenly felt a sense of suffocation.

Aaron sighed.

Si Yunming unfolded it and read it, then sneered: "The boy is not worth conspiring with; at the critical moment, one really must use real blades and guns! Pass the order... beat the drums, call the roll!"

"Taiyin... I know that since you were young, you have had a kind, benevolent, and soft heart; you cannot accomplish great things, unlike your two senior brothers."

Just at this moment, a purple-robed eunuch trotted in, disregarding his decorum entirely, even taking a tumble.

Xiao Liang was talking to Zhang Jushi.

And behind Aaron, Nongmei Daoren collapsed to the ground as if his bones had been removed.

In the sky, beneath the mackerel-scale clouds, Electric snakes writhed.

"Actually... I have always known that Your Majesty is suspicious of me, but I am not the Prime Minister's man, nor am I Your Majesty's man; I am loyal to the Liang State... I do not want both sides to engage in war, causing chaos in the world and suffering for the people, but alas..."

Whose Influence is greater, one hundred people or several thousand?

Imperial Palace.

Xiao Liang was almost limp on the dragon throne; this scene made even Zhang Jushi feel a bit suffocated.

Bang, bang!

"I know that, of course."

"You are right..." Xiao Liang was startled, then said: "Pass the order quickly!"

With a rip, the sound of tearing silk was heard; Nongmei Daoren's sleeve burst open, and a Magic Tool fell out from within.

"You are already a Duke and a Grand Secretary, what more is there to worry about?" Tang Xun's wife said softly as she draped a garment over his shoulders.

At this moment, they were wearing cold expressions, looking at the crowd as if they were looking at dead men.

Crack!

"Zhang Sangou, what are you doing? Have you forgotten? You are someone I, this Young Master, promoted... If it weren't for me, you would have starved to death... It was I who took you in as a house servant..."

At this time, military law within the navy was extremely strict; if any commander had not arrived after the third drum roll, they could be executed immediately.

Immediately, that Zhang Sangou drew his blade and thrust it forward.

In Jinshi City.

Furthermore, these trusted aides he had personally promoted were all sons of noble families with clean backgrounds; they absolutely could not be people of that demonic Daoist.

Regarding this, Si Yunming was quite satisfied.

"This..." Xiao Liang still had some hesitation.

Crack!

"This civil service examination is the foundation of our Great Liang's recruitment of scholars; it must not be neglected..."

Boom, boom!

"Report, there is a message of the highest priority from the Imperial Palace."

Tang Xun shook his head, then suddenly saw a house servant approaching with a pigeon, and a bad premonition arose in his heart.

"Teacher... His Majesty has already decided to lead the hundred officials to offer sacrifices to Heaven tomorrow, you... your life, which was extended by the Emperor's command, must now come to an end..."

They were about to head out immediately to lead their respective subordinates and march on Yangxin Temple.

Zhang Jushi agreed on the surface, but in reality, he was thinking: 'Ever since Confucianism was abolished, the common people of the world have all pursued profit and forgotten righteousness. Once Confucianism is restored, it will surely sweep across the universe and return a bright and clear world to the people.'

The son of the noble looked at his abdomen, from which blood was flowing, his face full of disbelief: "You actually dare to... kill me?"

"A transmission Token?!"

By the second drum roll, commanders in full armor had already arrived at the center of the main camp.

After the third drum roll, dozens of commanders and Colonels stood in order, looking at Si Yunming with solemn expressions, and bowed in unison: "Greetings, Grand Commander!"

Si Yunming said in a loud voice.

Rip!

Si Yunming bit his lip until it bled: "I want to see the Prime Minister, I want to see the Prime Minister!"

Others did not know what was going on, but Si Yunming understood in an instant.

Taiyin Daoren looked at this Token and muttered to himself.

Taiyin Daoren said while weeping: "Both of these senior brothers knew, yet they kept it hidden from you alone!"

She was a very clever person and had already guessed some things: "Why not take a step back?"

"Sigh... the mountain rain is about to come!"

Tang Xun looked at the weather and suddenly sighed.

Clang!

"Pass on my military order: assemble the marine troops and surround Yangxin Temple!"

A Team Leader waved his hand, and the marines stepped forward, raised their well-equipped Firearm, aimed at these commanders—who were either begging for mercy, wetting themselves in fear, or acting with tragic heroism—and pulled the triggers.

This house servant was originally a veteran soldier and was fiercely loyal to Tang Xun; at this moment, he handed over a piece of intelligence.

Tang Xun read it, his expression changed drastically: "Prepare the horses... I am going to the Nine Cities Military Commission!!"
